	North Carolina May Be First To Require Criminal Background Check For College Applicants In 2004 Jessica Faulkner and Christen Naujoks both students at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington were killed by two different fellow students who'd lied about their criminal backgrounds in order to be admitted. Now legislation introduced last month by state Senator Neal Hunt (R-Raleigh) would keep something like that from ever happening again by requiring all students admitted to any UNC system school to undergo a criminal background check. The legislation, S 2002, is supported by the parents of both murdered students and SOC. It is currently pending before the state's Senate Finance Committee. If adopted the law would make North Carolina the first state to require background checks for college applicants.
