If I fill out a job application, I have to indicate whether I've had a felony. I don't have a problem with asking and providing a space to explain.

Plenty of young men have felony convictions for being drunk, DUI, or assault from a fight at a bar. Not sure I'd want a convicted rapist, sexual felon, or murderer on campus.

That said, I do like the idea of expanding college education opportunities to those incarcerated.
