Bill may force staff background checks: "Incoming professors to Penn State already face a background check, but soon applicants to other schools in the commonwealth may have to undergo the same scrutiny.
House Bill 145, introduced in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by State Rep. Matthew Baker, R-Bradford and Tioga, requires universities to 'conduct a criminal history background investigation prior to hiring an individual for a full-time faculty or staff position.' The bill focuses specifically on felony convictions and convictions involving sex offenses or misappropriation of funds."
