Wikileaks risico bij loopbaan in USA
“The security clearance [bij een sollicitatie] askswhether or not you’re a risk when it comes to sensitive material.This could be one indicator that, when taken together with others,creates a broader pattern that might suggest you’re not a person tobe hired,” zegt rechtsgeleerde Gregory McNeal van PepperdineUniversity, die in ‘national security’ vraagstukken isgespecialiseerd.
“They may very well take into account your opinion, as a jobcandidate, whether or not you think WikiLeaks is a good thing orbad thing for the country. It’s a small issue, but one to approachwith caution if I were a student seeking a job in the nationalsecurity field,” zegt hij tegen CNN.
Boston University’s School of Law, Georgetown University’sSchool of Foreign Service en Columbia University’s School ofInternational and Public Affairs hebben hun studenten gewaarschuwdvoor het doorsturen van Wikileaks-documenten of links en voor hetbediscussiëren van dergelijke stukken op socialmedia als Facebooken Twitter.
“Reading them, passing them on, commenting on them may be seenas a violation of Executive Order 13526, Classified NationalSecurity Information,” schrijft Maura Kelly van Boston University,de assistant dean for career development and public services, ineen email aan de studenten. “Two big factors in hiring for manyfederal government positions are determining if the applicants havegood judgment and if they know how to deal withconfidential/classified information.”
