The Faculty Search Tutorial

Enhancing Diversity, Building a Great Institution

 

Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the preparative materials for the Faculty Search Committee Tutorial. The tutorial is designed as one component of the informational resources that the university makes available to search committees.

I hope that this narrative version of the tutorial will help you familiarize yourself with important concepts, information, and research in the growing field of search committee best practices, as well as facilitate your taking of the actual tutorial. While individual answers, and the number of times it takes a person to get the correct answer, are not recorded for the actual tutorial, nonetheless the opportunity to preview the material without pressure to answer questions may ease the test-taking process for some people.

I hope that it will inform you, and challenge you to sharpen and intensify your considerable efforts to attract a strong, diverse pool of applicants for faculty openings.

Please note that the order of topics, and the order of information within each topic, is not the same in this non-test version as it is in the actual tutorial. However, all relevant material from the tutorial has been included in this narrative version.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.

Sincerely,

Gertrude J. Fraser
Vice Provost for Faculty Recruitment & Retention
