Thoughts for Hiring Faculty and Staff Arlene Carney August 20, 2009

Search Committees • Appoint a diverse search committee – gender, race, ethnicity, etc. • Be aware of the rank of women and faculty of color – If these faculty are always the junior faculty on the committee, their influence and contribution is limited.

Search Committees • Be aware of implicit biases that all of us have. • Try this web site at Harvard to assess some implicit biases.  https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ 

Search Committees • Write an unbiased search advertisement. • Consider the broad sweep of candidates.

Search Tactics • Have recruiting materials available that address: – Relocation – Dual career couples http://www1.umn.edu/ohr/rap/spousepartner/ 
