Welcome TICUA Members

The Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) has partnered with Kroll, the world's leading risk consulting company, to offer TICUA members a wide array of world-class background screening services. These services are all designed to help you hire employees of the absolute highest caliber – ultimately protecting the important investment you make in your workforce. Other Kroll services can also help shelter you from additional risks like improperly vetted vendors and students with overstated qualifications.

Background checks are all the more important on school campuses.

It should come as no surprise that thorough background screening of potential employees in your school is crucial. After all, these individuals have consistent exposure to your students and, in the case of teachers and professors, are often responsible for guiding these students' educational paths. Moreover, parents trust your institution to not only educate their children, but also to safeguard them from any potential harm or abuse. Therefore, taking every possible step to protect your students and manage parental concerns is obviously a monumental concern for you.

Further driving the need for an accurate and effective background screening program are reputational issues – all the more important in higher education, where your school’s good name can make or break the success of your institution. Just one employee with an unsavory background can ruin years of meticulous stewardship and careful planning.

A partner well-educated in your industry.

TICUA selected Kroll, whose Background Screening division is headquartered in Nashville, based on our extensive experience with educational institutions. Kroll has been working with the educational sector for more than 35 years. As a result, we understand that while you face many of the same risks as our corporate clients (like the hiring of personnel, physical security of your facilities, and applicant selection), you also have a number of unique challenges that necessitate a screening partner with deep experience in serving the educational community. Some of these education-specific challenges include:

Creating dynamically open yet safe academic environments
Preserving carefully built reputations
Maintaining intellectual integrity through well-qualified students and faculty
Verifying credentials for domestic and international applicants and employees

Kroll’s wide array of screening services and packages can help you meet these challenges and enable you to stay focused on your core campus activities.
