Ron DeSantis\u2019 directive to end the use of H-1B visas that allow foreigners to be hired faculty, the university system\u2019s Chancellor Ray Rodrigues said Thursday. Rodrigues told the Board of Governors that conversations are already underway with university presidents. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve heard the call to address it and we will continue to work with our universities and staff to answer the call,\u201d Rodrigues told the board during a meeting at the University of South Florida. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis brought up the issue during an appearance at the school on Oct. 29. DeSantis\u2019 proposal follows a restriction on H-1B visas issued by President Donald Trump\u2019s administration that would require foreign-born individuals to pay a $100,000 fee for the visa. The cost is expected to be carried by the hiring institution. DeSantis has equated many H-1B employees as \u201ccheap labor\u201d intended to save costs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see in the news all these people being laid off by Amazon, UPS, all these companies, we need to make sure our citizens here in Florida are first in line for job opportunities,\u201d the governor said last week. \u201cWe can do it with our residents in Florida or with Americans, and if we can\u2019t do it, then, man, we need to really look deeply about what is going on with this situation,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The Florida Board of Governors are slated to meet Jan. 28-29 at Florida State University.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftallahasseereports.com%2F2025%2F11%2F07%2Funiversity-leaders-eye-h-1b-visas%2F\" style=\"display:inline-block;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sfsi_wicon\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" alt=\"fb-share-icon\" title=\"Facebook Share\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/fb_icons\/en_US.svg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=University+Leaders+Eye+H-1B+Visas https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/2025\/11\/07\/university-leaders-eye-h-1b-visas\/\" style=\"display:inline-block\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" nopin=\"nopin\" width=\"auto\" class=\"sfsi_plus_wicon\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/Twitter_Tweet\/en_US_Tweet.svg\" alt=\"Tweet\" title=\"Tweet\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; By The News Service of Florida State university leaders in January will tackle Gov.
