Sec. 36h. Appointment. (1) Whenever an employer covered by the University System has a position which needs to be filled, this employer shall inform the Director of the Merit Board. The Director shall then certify to the employer the names and addresses of the three persons standing highest on the register for the classification to which the position is assigned. The employer shall select one of these persons certified for the position and shall notify the Director of the Merit Board of his selection. If less than three names appear on the appropriate register, the Director shall certify the names and addresses of the person or persons on the register. Sex shall be disregarded except when the nature of the position requires otherwise.
(2) All appointments shall be for a probationary period of no less than 6 months and no longer than 12 months for each class of positions in the classification plan, the length of the probationary period for each class having been determined by the Director, except that persons first appointed to any police department of any university or college covered by the University System after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1979, shall be on probation for 1 year. The service during the probationary period shall be deemed to be a part of the examination. During the probationary period, the employee may be dismissed if the employer determines that the employee has failed to demonstrate the ability and the qualifications necessary to furnish satisfactory service. The employer shall notify the Director in writing of such dismissal. If an employee is not so dismissed during his probationary period his appointment shall be deemed complete at the end of the period.
(3) No person shall be appointed to any police department of any university or college covered by the University System unless he possesses a high school diploma or an equivalent high school education, and unless he is a person of good character and is not a person who has been convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude.
