Some U.S. colleges are starting programs to help their alumni get visas through what critics say is a legal loophole. Foreign grads who want to stay and start a business typically apply for one of the 85,000 H-1B visas that the U.S. gives out each year. But college employees are exempt from that cap, so schools like UMass, Babson and CUNY have launched programs to hire alumni and foreign entrepreneurs and help them grow their businesses here.
