The Diversity Advocate Program provides advanced training for one member of each faculty search committee concerning methods to expand the diversity of the candidate pool. It was initiated in 2018-2019 with search committees for tenure-line hires in STEM & SBS.
Diversity Advocates will help with extra recruitment efforts aimed at direct & personal contact & encourage the utilization of best practices in evaluating diverse applicant pools. They will guide the committee in ensuring that the search process is free of bias or stereotyping of applicants in verbal or written communication, that candidates are evaluated fairly, that similar opportunities for each candidate are provided, & that interview procedures treat all applicants consistently.
