Committee diversity facilitates a strong hiring process that also aligns with Equal Employment Opportunity. Search committees should be diverse with regard to gender, minority, and veteran, disability, and/or other protected status (diverse ethnicities, races, religious affiliations, age, sexual orientation, etc.).
The Department Chair identifies a search committee and search committee chair and submits recommendations for approval to the College Dean.
