Employment is important to reducing recidivism, but a criminal record — or mistakes in one — can be a significant barrier for job seekers. To ease that challenge, #CornellILR's Criminal Justice and Employment Initiative (CJEI) has developed and updated their Criminal Record Online Toolkit.

The Criminal Record Online Toolkit helps individuals understand their rights and how to ensure records' accuracy when applying for jobs in New York and four adjacent states.

Americans agree universities have a broader role beyond education and research but do not fully agree on what that role is.

#CornellILR's Art Wheaton said doing the job of a controller without pay is "playing with fire." It's "a recipe for disaster to continue adding pressure to an already problematic & excruciating job." He adds that these problems compound an already strained workforce that's ~3000 controllers short.
