STAFF editorial CRIME CHECK Include faculty in background study Background checks on applicants for non-faculty staff positions have been conducted since June to ensure a safer campus community, said Director of Human Resources John Weis. Though they are looking for felony convictions, Weis said such a conviction does not automatically disqualify a job candidate. The nature of the offense and the duties of the job are taken into consideration before an applicant is dismissed. It's true, the university cannot be too cautious when deal- ing with issues of campus safety. Housekeepers, for exam- ple, have access to residence halls. Librarians have personal contact with students every day. It is important that students feel secure with this interaction. Likewise, it is important that students feel safe with facul- ty members, who are hired by committees through the indi- vidual schools and not by the university. Weis said there are no current plans for criminal background checks for faculty positions, but applicants can give a self-disclosure account if they want a part of their past to be known to the university. If background checks are being performed on non-faculty staff members, they should be performed on faculty mem- bers as well. Some students have just as much, if not more, contact with professors than they do with librarians and housekeepers. Not to be too dramatic, but Theodore Kaczynski — also known as the Unabomber — was a professor at the University of California at Berkeley until he unexpectedly Simplicity crucial on movie dates resigned in 1969.
