COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University is considering changing its policies regarding new hires, recommendations an official is linking to a deadly workplace shooting.
University vice president of human resources Larry Lewellen tells The Columbus Dispatch the school wants to learn from what happened.
A probationary employee who was about to lose his job shot and killed one supervisor in March, wounded another and then took his own life.
The recommendations announced in a campus-wide e-mail on Wednesday call for not informing probationary workers if they're about to be terminated.
The university also is looking at overhauling how background checks are done. It has said a check did not find the gunman had served five years in prison for receiving stolen property.
