The experience of Georgia Southern departments shows that there are as many ways to investigate these topics as there are departments. Revised Search Procedures Procedures for faculty and administrative searches in Academic Affairs were revised last spring. Copies of the new procedures dated February 1997 are available from department chairs and department secretaries and on the GSU Gopher. This year's searches are subject to Provost and Vice President Carter's directive issued last fall regarding advertising. The Office of Academic Affairs covers the cost of one Bulletin Board advertisement in The Chronicle of Higher Education and one advertisement in a professional journal.
Units are free to place other ads at their expense.
Our search procedures require prior approval of all advertising copy, regardless of funding source. Search chairs should send or e-mail drafts of ad copy to Bob Haney. Both he and the affirmative action officer, Larry Taylor, will review the drafts before returning them to the search chair. Advertising deadlines should accompany submitted copy. Position Announcement Flyers Department chairs and search committees have at their disposal a standard flyer for use in faculty searches.
