Re: Background Checks in Higher Ed?

Yep.  Criminal and Financial, and pretty much everybody.

We're also a Hospital, and I think this is what is driving the
requirement.

Hi...

I heard recently that some institutions of higher ed are now beginning
to institute background checks for some staff and faculty. Does anyone
do this - or know who does? I hear that some institutions do simple
checks (financial and criminal) for their security personnel and sys
admins (in key positions) and some do simple screens for their faculty
and staff. Coming from an industry background, I have seen this done
in
aerospace and financial sectors (and some in health care), but not in
education. If anyone is doing this, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.
