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.

Maybe this is because many people in the Obungler administration, probably want to go back to college.
“White House asks colleges to look beyond criminal records”
How about trying to get the ghetto dwellers NOT to commit crimes? Perhaps he thinks his people are incapable of obeying the law?
ironic, since B. Hussein Obama wants to do away with due process for sexual assault allegations (allow school bureaucRats to be judge and jury with standards lower than reasonable doubt, see Jack Montague, evil white person). Even liberal Alan Dershowitz has a serious issue with this (libs even call him a “neo-con” now).
Since he himself is unwilling to keep the law, that would certainly reflect on the blacks, whom he no doubt hates as much as whites. Not only narcissistic, but misanthropic.
The left instinctively sides with evil.
How are criminals who’ve done their time supposed to become productive citizens again? I applaud this. I don’t see any harm in this at all.
Why not? When a man can now fill any # of quotes by just checking a bunch of boxes: lesbian, left-handed, albino, midget, Eskimo...what matters to adding a few murders to the list?
Who knew the Dead Milkmen were so prophetic!? /s
I do not understand the tendency to applaud liberal initiatives that end up doing more harm than good. How have these criminals “paid their debt to society”? Most have committed evils that the Bible insists on the death penalty for. Our society has been paying the price for ignoring the Bible and bigger prices will have to be paid if we stay on this path.
Tell it to the inner cities. I really am sorry to see that you regard societal evisceration as “bupkiss”.
I certainly do not see a majority of them suddenly outdoing me in college-level algebra, much less calculus. There will be the few who can, of course, and make me look amateurish in understanding of differential equations, but not the many.
Isn't that a type of 'white privilege'?
Exactly! If someone’s majoring in public administration/Government Studies, a bit of criminal experience would certainly be a resume enhancer! /s;)
Criminals, homosexuals, transsexuals - everything once considered wholesome is “out” under obama and everything once considered evil is “in.”.
Send all the felons to study at Harvard with Obama’s daughter. Sharing a dorm room with her.
Hell, many colleges have professors that are felons.
Justice involved? When a euphemism becomes a resume builder.
[[ If they are repeat offenders their history is totally relevant to everyone that has to deal with them regularly. ]]
The recidivist rate for felons is quite high. No businessman in his right mind would want to hire a felon unless taking great precautions. Businesses should be able to ask about criminal records. It’s common sense.
Government asks for criminal records.
Plus they hire based on what genitals and what skin color you are.
Government will refuse hiring felons citing national security.
They will not allow citizens not to hire for reasons of personal and customer security.
How effed up is that?
All citizens must bow down and sacrifice to the progressive agenda.
