New UK regulations re foreign students and workers
New regulations "requiring academics to monitor international students and report absences to immigration authorities" have proved controversial. Universities have tried to implement them in various ways, but I was surprised to hear one academic reporting that they were told that "Staff should not give immigration advice to students. To do so represents a high risk and is a criminal offence."
It seems that complex regulations which are implemented (or which people attempt to implement) in diverse ways can bring some rather striking results.
