As Mike Godwin said to the reporter,
""We've never had any documentation
of any criminal record on Carolyn Doran's part at all." There was no
question of the board "disclosing" information that we did not have.

No one. Not even for a convenience store, let alone a major world-wide
organization like Wikimedia. The fact that this information was not
disclosed to the community and the public is disturbing - the fact
that it was glossed over as if the question was inappropriate when it
was asked of Ms Devouard is far more disturbing, if its true the Board
was aware of the details.

It depends on the company. For the companies I
have worked for, a background
check including criminal record check is pretty much standard. Some even
require drug tests, and I work in the financial services industry where
there pretty much is no exposure to child care.
My consulting company does
background checks on everyone, and some of
our customers do as well.
Having a DUI conviction or arrest is not a disqualifier for an
executive, financial, or technical job, usually.
Not disclosing it would be grounds for termination if discovered, but
that doesn't seem to apply here.
