The report from Cooley LLP, commissioned by Old Dominion University, revealed that the university was unaware of Jalloh's conviction due to a state law preventing inquiries into criminal histories for applicants. Furthermore, Jalloh's probation officer failed to notify the university of his legal past. The article emphasizes that the current system often conflates disengagement from violence with actual deradicalization, and there is a lack of uniform standards for tracking released ...
