Searching for Excellence and Diversity: A Cross-College Workshop Series for Faculty Search Committees (Session 2B)  (back)
 
Description:
WISELI’s workshop series for chairs and members of faculty search committees consist of two sessions. Both sessions rely on active learning principles and encourage small groups of search committee members to learn from each other’s experiences. Each session is described below:

Session 1: We will share strategies for running an effective and efficient search, actively recruiting a diverse and highly qualified pool of candidates, increasing awareness of unconscious assumptions and their influence on the evaluation of candidates, and sharing strategies for conducting equitable evaluations.

Session 2: Participants will report on their recruitment efforts, their satisfaction with the diversity and excellence of their applicant pool, and on how their committees relied on information from research on bias and assumptions. This session will focus on how to run fair and effective interviews and on-campus visits for final candidates, revisit issues related to the evaluation of these candidates, and strategies for successfully hiring candidates offered a position.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Faculty search committee chairs; Members of faculty search committees; Department chairs; Administrators assisting faculty search committees.
