| Abstract | More than a quarter of Americans--around 100 million people--have been arrested and/or convicted of a crime. Being "criminal justice system-impacted" (Underground Scholars Initiative 2019) has many social and economic consequences, including far lower chances of accessing and succeeding in higher education. Some observers raise safety concerns about the presence of people with records on campus. Although the actual risks to admitting system-impacted students may be minimal, a patchwork of federal, state, and institutional policies combine to restrict their access to and success in higher education. However, little is known about campus stakeholders' beliefs about system-impacted students. Should they be admitted? Should they be allowed to live in the residence halls? Should they receive financial assistance? The authors decided to ask these questions of faculty. In spring 2017, 229 full-time faculty employed at nine public universities across the United States were surveyed (Ott and McTier 2019). The questionnaire included eighteen Likert-scaled items capturing opinions about campus policies and practices related to system-impacted students. Half of the questions asked about students convicted of non-violent crimes. The remaining questions focused on violent crimes. Open-ended comments from faculty about admissions, financial aid, housing, and other dimensions of campus life specific to system-impacted students were also solicited. The authors' work suggests that more transparency about postsecondary opportunities for system-impacted individuals--and the restrictions on these individuals--is needed, particularly at the institution-level. This research also indicates the potential for more positive practices to encourage and support system-impacted students. (ERIC). |
