It isn't apparent until the background check is run - that isn't requested until post-offer.
In this case what would have come back are the bad check convictions - the criminal matters. The eviction/failure to pay rent wouldn't have come up as those are civil matters. Those offenses would have been matched up against the duties of the job she was being hired for. Since there were no fiscal responsibilities to being a tutor she would not be immediately disqualified for hire. However, it was always my experience with Campus HR that they would point out issues that weren't immediate DQ but should be considered. Per System policy they cannot tell the hiring department exactly what is on the background check but they will prompt the hiring department to do some examination into person they want to hire.
In this case someone in the Total Person Program was set on hiring her and probably did so against the advice of Campus HR.
Possibly unrelated but the following job was posted two weeks ago:
