Lawmakers consider criminal background checks for college students
RALEIGH — Your child may have to pass a criminal background check to enter state universities. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would do just that.In 2004, two students were killed at UNC-Wilmington. One suspect lied on his application about his criminal past, now lawmakers want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
“If you were a parent and your 17-18-year-old was going to college, I think you’d be willing to pay $20 to $40 to make sure her dormmate had no criminal background history,” Sen. Neal Hunt (R-Wake) said.
