The article detailed problems and questions with college applications I had no previously thought about before.  While I understand asking about convictions, asking about arrest history is unfair to many students and may discourage diversity.  However, I think if the workplace can ask about a person’s arrest history, your college has a right to know your background.

This article touches on Ethical Reasoning and Decision making.  While colleges are just trying to block violence, they may be unknowingly blocking applicants.  This is not the intended effect of these questions though.
