Affirmative Action in staff hiring is cared for under existing personnel procedures as outlined in the Personnel Manual and is in the competence of Peggy Henry. The faculty committee has spent time regularizing procedures for affirmative action in faculty hiring initially formulated by the deans. Adopted by the deans and circulated to departmental chairs, these procedures are now operative. They are adjusted to the normal sequences in hiring in the several schools and therefore vary slightly. Affirmative Action Committee appoints one of its members to serve as a counselor to department undertaking a search.
Counselor reviews job description, search procedures, applicant pools, and dossiers with department.
Affirmative Action officer authorizes final interviews based on compliance with affirmative action procedures. Suggestions and criticisms are welcomed.
