"We oppose the idea of adding criminal background questions to the undergraduate admissions process, because: Research shows criminal background checks do not reduce crime or make university campuses safer; in fact, college campuses are far safer than the general community. Research demonstrates education is strongly correlated with a decrease in criminal activity and reduced recidivism (46% less likely to re-offend). Excluding students with a criminal history from participating in postsecondary education not only increases chances of recidivism, but has serious implications for racial equity."
