The Department of Education is urging the nation's higher education institutions to stop asking college applicants to disclose their criminal history on their college applications.
In a new report from the department's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education titled "Beyond the Box," the agency encouraged schools to stop asking applicants about criminal history and instead limit disclosure of such information to convictions of certain crimes.
