Hamilton College, the University of Richmond and Washington and Lee University, among other institutions, now offer stipends for students working at large corporations like General Motors and local businesses. Critics have accused unpaid internships of exploiting students, claiming that the financial downturn has forced more companies to hire unpaid interns to perform essential tasks instead of hiring paid employees, The Wall Street Journal reported.
