Recommended Steps and Resources for Faculty Recruitment
To sustain and strengthen the university’s commitment to an open, fair process consistent with excellence and inclusion, we have provided recommended steps and resources to help carry out diverse and equitable searches.
Many factors can contribute to the exclusion of women, under represented and minoritized people in faculty positions (e.g. degree of encouragement toward academia, mentoring, access to role models, issues of climate). The ideas presented here are consistent with best practices to increase equity and inclusion that draw heavily on the work of several NSF ADVANCE programs.
The recommendations described here were originally developed in the Mellon College of Science and were adapted for this website.
