Do firms check your disciplinary record? Specifically MM.

Monkeys,

I have a superday with Baird coming up in a few days, and received a consent form from their HR rep a few days ago, which basically has me sign off to allow them to check on my previous employment, academic, and specifically, disciplinary record.

Do MM firms like Baird actually check up on your school disciplinary record?

I did something stupid in my sophomore year of college (wrote a peer a really nasty email), and it got slapped onto my disciplinary record. Learned my lesson big time. But should I be worried in the context of firms actually rescinding an offer because of it? I like Baird a lot, and would hate for them to give me an offer, only to realize that I did something immature back in my sophomore year of school, and decide that I wouldn't be a good fit for their culture.

Black JackI can't give you an answer, but pretty funny that you act like your sophomore year was ages ago when I'm guessing you are a junior and this happened tops a year ago.
This is true. I apologize if I came across as insincere. The event in question happened over a year ago, and I feel like I've learned my lesson and had time to "grow" appropriately since then. It wouldn't be something that would happen again, and certainly not in a professional setting.
ViDisciplinary actions are usually recorded on your transcript. The only way they would know is if you told them or they asked for a transcript.
AFAIK, academic records (transcripts) and disciplinary records are two separate things. Perhaps they handle it differently from school to school?

Anybody else have any thoughts on this?
