In-person interviews typically are preceded by telephone interviews, if possible through conference calls. Before invitations for interviews may be extended, the affirmative action form must be submitted to the Dean and the Provost and approved. This requirement is not waived. The appropriate forms are available in the Dean's office. Throughout the search, recruiting departments should be mindful that they must keep good records of the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of the group of candidates considered and especially those interviewed.
Interviews typically begin one day and continue through the next.
A candidate should rarely have to remain over two nights. Bringing a candidate to the campus requires the Dean's and Provost's approval. The chair of the search committee is responsible for monitoring and recording all expenses and submitting the reimbursement forms. Some recruitment expenses are borne by the Provost's Office. A budget will be established by the Provost's Office for each search.
