The Obama administration is asking colleges and universities to rethink how they factor in an applicants criminal history during the admission process.
The White House says schools inquiries about criminal records too often block people whove served time in prison from getting an education. President Barack Obama says changes are needed to ensure Americans whove paid their debt to society can earn their second chance.

Look beyond their criminal past .... become a doctor and dispense drugs legally for profit!!!
When they are released early or because of overcrowding or other unrelated technicalities, they have not paid their full debt.
If they are repeat offenders their history is totally relevant to everyone that has to deal with them regularly.
Every thug given a “second chance” takes a spot in the college that should go to a deserving student who always did the right thing.
I guess if they otherwise qualify, they should be admitted to colleges, but should they be put ahead of the line with applicants with no criminal records?
They get to work for college credits in prison which will be marketable if they are completed prior to release, other things considered.
Again, this administration demonstrates that crime pays.
Baylor wishes they hadn’t looked past the football players’ records. Someone needs to ask the white house about that.
well .. Hillary Clinton has NOT paid her debt to society .. and neither has a lot of turds in the Clinton administration.
The colleges who go along with this have an enhanced danger of lawsuits from students who become crime victims.
Oh so let’s let men who “identify” as women into women’s bathrooms and also open up the door for felons including rapists to be admitted to college.
Gee, I can’t possibly imagine how that could go wrong.

How about telling the kids not to be criminals.....instead of instigating riots AGAINST the police.
Sure, everyone’s college freshman daughter needs to be on campus and dorm mates with known rapists, murderers and crimillegals.
Yes! Yes! You can vote for Hillary!
Are Malia and Sasha going to be dating felons?
Are there felons working in the White House? Oh wait..

Wonder if rape is included? Seems like campus rape was an isue for Obama.
Just what schools need - more pedophiles, rapists, thieves, and psychos, otherwise known as teachers. The schools right now have enough of their own homegrown and imported pedophiles, rapists, thieves, and psychos.
Their victims get the real “liberal education”.
So.... Someone who has been in jail for 5 years is qualified how, exactly, to attend college? They tutor a lot of SAT takers in Jail?
Give these morons a recursive math problem and they will turn it into an addiction of bad proportions.
Well, bless your heart. Luckily, your opinion on what constitutes repaying one’s debt to society means bupkiss.
