This study examines the roles of social capital and brokerage in the exchange of institutional information among administrative staff in a public university. The analysis is based on data from a survey completed by over 400 participants and eight interviews completed by administrative staff at a public research-intensive university. Findings suggest that several measures of social capital are associated with the perceptions of quality of information accessed, while information accessed through social networks is perceived to have lower quality, on average, than information accessed through information technology systems. Findings also suggest that, although information brokers within universities are willing to respond and are supportive of information requests from colleagues, constraints of time and resources make it difficult for them to provide the information requested.Item Courses in the Environment.

Since their inception, both institutions have served as powerful socioeconomic sorting mechanisms. As both institutions have expanded, they have played increasingly important roles in social mobility, socioeconomic status, and life opportunities. Criminal records are a pervasive, acutely restrictive feature of American social life, perpetuating cycles of crime, inequality, and lost opportunity, especially for low-income people and people of color. Higher education has long been considered a key to unlocking social mobility and developing social cohesion in American society, and a potentially compelling mechanism for facilitating desistance. College attendance and completion are associated with lower rates of unemployment and higher relative earnings. Through college, students can access valued opportunities, develop human capital, and foster civic membership. Yet, most colleges require applicants to disclose detailed criminal history information as part of the application process, and some evidence suggests that applicants are being rejected on the basis of their records. Thus, the benefits of higher education may not accrue for students with criminal records. The increasing scrutiny of criminal records in college admissions is especially consequential for groups most subject to the criminal legal system, particularly young Black males. Considering the historic underrepresentation of Black Americans in higher education and overrepresentation in justice-involved populations, criminal history disclosure requirements could raise additional barriers to racial progress, student learning, and citizenship. Drawing on original data sources, including a national audit of college admissions, I find that criminal record screening in college admissions raises substantial hurdles and barriers on the path to college for students with criminal records, demonstrating how records overwhelms potential life course opportunities, hardens inequality, and redefines social membership.
