University of Wisconsin Enhances Background Check Requirements
Screening Now Required for Athletic Camp Volunteers, Employees
The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department officials adopted a policy this year – in effect as of April 1, 2012 – whereby background checks are done on all persons involved with various sports camps held on campus, according to an article from the Wisconsin State Journal.
It doesn’t matter if the person is a volunteer, hourly student employee, referee or guest instructor. All are subjected to a background check using state and national sex offender searchers and various criminal registries, the article says.
