Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced agreements with St. John’s University, Dowling College and Five Towns College to amend their admissions policies and practices with respect to applicants’ prior contact with law enforcement. The agreements ensure that each school will refrain from inquiring about irrelevant information regarding contacts with the criminal justice system, including arrests that did not lead to conviction, sealed or expunged records, or pardoned records.
