Question: Are you in favor of a law that would force the UA to fire faculty and other staff if they have committed a felony?

"No · the UA already does background checks, and after they do, it should be the employer's right to still hire them if they want to."











"I don't agree with it. A person may have made a mistake, and that mistake shouldn't follow him around for the rest of his life."











"For the most part, I am for it. I think it would work out much better for the UA. Most often, when you commit a felony, you're not going to stop there."











"No, I guess I wouldn't (be). If that's something in their pasts, just because it happened doesn't mean you have to fire them."
