Well, that can range from anything like security (they’d like to know if you’ve shot someone lately), or liability (if you work in a hospital, is there a possibility of you stealing drugs to pay for debts). I’m not going to go into detail nor justify whether the reasons are legal or even warranted, but just give you a list of links for other sites, schools, etc so you can see some example reasons.
Here they are:
Example of Student Access at hospitals:
Durham Technical Community College
General:
In The News:
Possible Employment at a University detailed within this policy:
* If you search on something like “university student background checking” or “college student background checking” you will come up with some good examples. All of the sites above are links to the actual college or university site and are unedited. You may have to do a search with your web browser on the page to see what pertains to students. College applications should be the hot thing right now, and students reviewing the college or university’s policies is a good idea.
