Texas Universities Initiate Background Checks for Dorm-Bound Students
Colleges and universities across Texas have been given approval by Governor Rick Perry to conduct background checks for students living on campus.
Campus police at Grayson College say that the checks will help students rest assured that their new roommates and neighbors have all been checked out, according to an article from KXII. While the college has used public background check websites in the past, the new authorization from Gov. Perry will allow public colleges and universities in Texas to access the Department of Public Safety’s website for official information.
