Summary
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to direct the Secretary of Education to issue guidance and recommendations for colleges and universities on removing criminal and juvenile justice questions from their admissions applications. The guidance would recommend that institutions either eliminate such questions entirely or, if they determine such information is necessary, delay requesting it until after admission decisions are made, provide applicants opportunities to explain their history, and ensure staff receive proper training. The bill also requires the Department of Education to provide training and technical assistance to institutions implementing these recommendations and to develop a resource center for best practices.
