student visa clampdown ..470 colleges lose license

Quote:
More than 470 UK colleges have been barred in the last six months from accepting new foreign students from outside Europe, the Home Office says.
They either had licences revoked or did not sign up to a new inspection system - part of government efforts to curb abuse of the immigration system.

I am including a link to my local paper because there is a interesting statement from Northumberland college

Quote:
But last night a spokeswoman for Northumberland College said: “We haven’t had international students for several years. It’s not relevant for us. Bigger colleges might take international students but we are much smaller and we don’t take them.”

Why would a college be banned from accepting foreign students from outside the EU when they don't and haven't for years ?.
