White people can be objective. There are librarians in this system who think that the same people are being appointed over and over again. We are saying that people of color bring different perspectives. Just being a person of color won't make you successful. I will challenge library faculty members to support more people of color on search committees.
Many people are out of town or busy.
Please don't assume that your fellow library faculty members aren't interested. I suggest that a selection committee of all people of color be formed, with a token white. Right now, we don't have a reliable process. In the past, LFA has served a clerical task in just voting for those on ballot. There is a process, starting with recruitment, then search committee formed, etc.
