Background checks have been completed onall those employed through Alabama's two-year college system, and
73 of more than 9,000 employees had confirmed felony records.
Chancellor Bradley Byrne announced Thursday that 23 of those
were retained after being reviewed, eight were terminated, four
left voluntarily, six were not renewed and 32 are still being
reviewed.
The board approved a policy last December that generally
prohibits the hiring of those convicted of a felony or crime
involving moral turpitude. That required background checks on all
employees.
Byrne said the checks had an unintended benefit - 37 employees
learned they were victims of identity theft when their backgrounds
were checked.
