## Text

111.15 (A) All statements submitted by applicants relating to character and fitness are subject to investigation by the university. Satisfactory information produced to the university that the applicant has committed acts which demonstrate character traits which would be detrimental to the successful performance of the employment sought, including but not limited to: the applicant's termination for cause from any previous employment, a conviction of a crime, an established pattern of poor work habits and performance with previous employers; may be sufficient to exclude the applicant from consideration. The university shall notify the applicant and provide the applicant with an opportunity to respond. This rule does not preclude the university from taking appropriate disciplinary action against a current employee, if the university discovers that the employee, prior to being hired by the university, committed acts which demonstrate character traits which would be detrimental to their continued employment with the university. (B) An employee terminated from university employment may be ineligible for reemployment with the university.
