Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Washington and Lee University filed 16 Labor Condition Applications covering 17 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (16 certified of 16 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on Washington and Lee University’s H-1B petitions range from $70,000 at the low end to $183,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $107,919. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor of Politics (2 petitions at $95,000 avg), followed by Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.
