Notice of Eligiblity Upon receipt of telephone notification, advertisements may be mailed or faxed to advertisers designated in the recruitment plan. The departmental receipt of the recruitment packet signals the end of the Pre-Advertising Review by the Office of Affirmative Action. A Pre-Interview Review is an examination of data submitted by the applicants and departments to the Office of Affirmative Action. The purpose of the review is to determine, before candidates are brought to the campus for interviews, whether the exclusion of a protected class applicant can be justified on the basis of the advertised qualifications. No candidate for a position may be brought to campus for an interview without a pre-interview review.
Interviews conducted without the benefit of a review can result in voiding of the search.
The protected class data forms are designed to provide all applicants with the opportunity to report information with regard to the federally protected categories of disability, gender, race, and veterans status. Applicant worksheets are designed to provide the department with a tool to rate and record all applicants and provides the Office of Affirmative Action with a tool to examine the treatment of federally protected individuals during the recruitment process. Completion of the PCD forms is optional on the part of the applicant. Whether or not an applicant returns a PCD form cannot be considered in the evaluation of applications. Additional PCD forms and applicant worksheets can be obtained as needed from the Office of Affirmative Action by calling 575-4019 or on this page.
