Banning the box

So, just listening to local news and Department of Education is trying to get colleges to stop asking about student’s criminal history. What they are failing to disclose is that really is moot: if a person gets an advanced degree but has a criminal record, it is all too likely they will be screened out of any meaningful opportunities after graduation, unless they have a personal network connection that can allow them to bypass screening/background checks. Good luck paying back that student debt.
