On October 2, I published a tweet exposing the University of Oklahoma’s H-1B sponsorship of a Sport Video Production Manager earning $55,931 annually.
My tweet quickly went viral, attracting nearly 700,000 views and prompting coverage from the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs.
Now there’s another development.
The University of Oklahoma’s previously publicly accessible H-1B Labor Condition Application notices are now directing visitors to a university login portal.
The university’s official careers website still invites the public to review its current H-1B and E-3 filings. But when you click the link, instead of seeing the notices, you’re redirected to a login screen requesting an OU username and password.
This is now the fourth university to remove or restrict public access to its H-1B hiring notices following my reporting.
Clemson University: After I exposed an H-1B Data Visualization Specialist position paying $68,340, Clemson removed its public H-1B notice page.
New York University: After I posted their a Data Reference and Collections Librarian position paying $93,000, NYU’s public notices disappeared.
University of Missouri: After I exposed an H-1B Strategic Communications Associate position paying $64,000, Mizzou’s public listings went from more than a dozen to zero. Missouri’s lieutenant governor subsequently called for a review of H-1B hiring.

I turned this breaking story into a Substack article because I believe it has the potential to become a national news story, especially given the White House’s new fraud task force. Please share it widely to help bring attention to it.
Universities that rely on taxpayer funding should welcome public scrutiny of their hiring practices, not make it harder for the public to examine them. If these universities have nothing to hide, why are their hiring records becoming harder to access?
UPDATE: the Inspector General chimes in:
Universities are beachheads for unlimited foreigner visas. Shameful this is happening in deep red states. The Sooners will catch up to the lone saars fast at this rate. Keep an eye on Montana as well. Their traitorous governor just went to India and has a nonbinary son.
There should be NO LOGICAL REASON for any university to use the H1B program.
