The department chair should appoint a Search Committee to review applications and to make recommendations for selection. This committee should include minorities and women whenever possible.
The individual(s) conducting the search will make arrangements for the Assistant Vice President of Institutional Equity and Diversity and/or the Academic Services Analyst to meet with the search committee to discuss the position and to clarify appropriate recruiting procedures. The Assistant Vice President will lend assistance by suggesting additional resources, if appropriate, to affirmatively recruit women and minority applicants.
