UNC Chapel Hill does minimal background checks on ALL new employees. Certainly anyone with physical access to systems with confidential data should be included. For some areas, you may require a more exhaustive background check. Jeanne Smythe Director for COmputing Policy A. Harry Williams wrote:
Senior administrators here at the college have requested that IT perform background checks on people hired at the datacenter. (I say IT, but it will be contracted out to others) We are now attempting to establish procedures on that, and one of the major discussion points at this time is who is required to have a background check. Existing employees will be grandfathered, but we are trying to determine if it should be all IT employees or a subset. I'd be interested in hearing from others that are performing such checks if it is all employees or a subset, and if a subset, how that subset was selected, and what you do if someone transfers into that subset from either elsewhere in IT or elsewhere in the univserity. /ahw ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
