This guide was developed by the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity. The guide is designed to complement the general faculty search process information found in the Handbook of Academic Administration and provides practical tools for incorporating equity and diversity into the search process. We encourage all faculty who will serve on a search committee to become familiar with this information and use it in combination with the University's unconscious bias module training to ensure you conduct a search that is fair and free from bias.
