The faculty of a University is its most important resource. It is important, therefore, that the recruitment process be aggressive, thorough and national in scope. It is also important that every effort be made to keep costs involved in the recruitment process as low as possible. The following guidelines have been set to control our costs. Advertisements Advertisements should be placed where they will attract the most attention.
Cost is considerable here, however.
In the Chronicle of Higher Education , two small regular classified ads are acceptable. When it is possible to combine several position announcements, a display ad is acceptable providing the costs do not exceed the combined costs of the smaller individual ads. Whenever possible, the Deans will coordinate announcements to make display ads possible. It is essential that advertisements be placed such that they will attract a variety of candidates, including members of groups under-represented in our faculty. Please see the Advisors on Women s Issues and Diversity Issues for assistance in using resources such as the National Minority Faculty ID Program.
