Professors opposing background checks - News: "University professors voted to send a list of complaints about a new background check policy to Board of Regents Chancellor Errol Davis at a University Council meeting Thursday.
'You just can't have this blanket statement that will probably lead to unwarranted and unnecessary checks that will intrude on people's privacy,' said history professor John Morrow after the meeting.
Morrow, president of the University chapter of the American Association of University Professors, presented a list of his group's concerns at the council meeting.
Morrow said the group found several issues 'sufficiently problematic':
There was no consultation with professors and faculty before the policy was drafted.
The policy doesn't define how the background checks should be applied or how the information should be used in hiring decisions."
