Bill limits criminal history queries on college applications for Delaware schools
DOVER, Del. – The state Senate has handed a invoice prohibiting faculties and universities in Delaware from asking potential college students questions on their legal backgrounds throughout the software course of or admissions, with restricted exceptions.
The invoice handed the Democrat-led chamber on a 15-5 vote Thursday and now goes to the Home. Sen. Ernie Lopez, a College of Delaware worker who is not searching for reelection, was the one Republican to vote for the measure.
Supporters of the invoice say it’ll increase academic and profession alternatives for convicted criminals.
