Background Checks Proposed After Incident at University of Colorado

This is interesting. The Chicago Tribune reports that a Freshman at the University of Colorado was stabbed by a school employee on his first day of classes. Quite a way of welcoming an incoming student, don't you think? What I find interesting is that the school has promised to do a background check on the employee now that he has committed this act. Anyone scratching their head over this? Now who knows if this individual has anything on his record, but at by doing it beforehand the school would at least have that to rely on. See the article below.

You would think that the tragedy at Virginia Tech last Spring might have caused universities to rethink their policies. At least that incident involved a student, not an employee of the university.
