Background Checks: Criminal, credit, and related background checks are required for all university positions, including (but not limited to) new employee hires, who will have "unsupervised access to children (does not include university students under 18) and vulnerable adults (persons 18 years of age or older who have substantial mental or functional impairments and are unable to protect themselves)."
Checklist for Camps on Campus: Directors of camps that are located at a school or college are often knowledgeable about the camp’s instructional program, but they may not be as familiar with the ways to protect themselves and the host institution from related legal liability and negative publicity. This checklist provides camp directors step-by-step guidance to help minimize risks and increase the likelihood of a safe experience for campers.
