As of April 1, 2016, search committee members will be required to complete search committee training, facilitated by the Office of Diversity and Equity and the Provost’s Office, before serving on a search committee. Training workshops include search process steps, Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity compliance and overcoming implicit bias in the search and hiring process.
Several spring sessions have been scheduled to provide search committee members the opportunity to fulfill this training requirement:
Tuesday, April 12, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Tuesday, April 26, 9:00am - 11:30am
Wednesday, May 25, 1:00pm - 3:30pm
All sessions are located in the Homer Babbidge Library Class of 1947 Room.
Search files in Recruiting Solutions will include documentation of committee members who have attended/registered for training. For searches beginning after April 1, 2016, search committee training status will be verified prior to search approval. Committee members who have attended search committee training since August 2014 already have been given credit for their attendance.
Additionally, a recruitment checklist has been developed to guide search committees in execution of their recruitment strategies. This document specifically identifies the type of recruiting and networking search committees should follow when forming a recruitment strategy. In order to facilitate tracking and documentation of recruitment efforts, search committees will be required to attach a copy of the completed recruitment checklist to the search in Recruiting Solutions prior to receiving approval to proceed with interviews. The recruitment checklist can be downloaded here.
