Students: Leave Criminal History Out of It

College applications are targeted for asking about felonies

Students from New York University are asking that the Common Application, widely used for the college admissions process, be stripped of any questions regarding criminal behavior.

Applicants filling out the Common App are asked to disclose the following:

--Have you ever been adjudicated guilty or convicted of a misdemeanor, felony, or other crime?

The campaign against the current form of the Common App is called “Abolish the Box,” in reference to the check boxes on the application.

More brainwashed liberal ideals. Lets please make sure we don't ever discriminate against convicted felons.

LOL! My sister works in NYU's admissions department. This is going to be a fun conversation. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they change the rules. More criminals is exactly what an elite university needs, right kids? Our diversity is our strength, after all. #FelonLivesMatter!

What a stupid question. They're not talking about increasing penalties for minor offenses. They're talking about allowing criminals to take the place of qualified non-criminals at what is widely regarded to be one of the best schools in America. Our decisions have consequences, and there are plenty of fine community colleges and state schools where an ex-con can get educated.

The only felons in college are in your community colleges paid for by your tax dollars. Anything else is an anomaly.

I would actually prefer we educate the felons.

Maybe they can get a job, and be productive after graduation.

Anything beats them robbing my house for a living.
