EQUITY ADVISOR

Equity Advisor:
To continue engaging in inclusive hiring practices, an Equity Advisor will be added to assist each
search committee. The role of the Equity Advisor is to assist the Dean in the selection process
of the search committee and its chair.
    Coordinate with CJC-HR to ensure the search ad is posted in multiple venues that attract a
    diverse pool of applicants.
    Provide advice as needed to the chair/Dean and to the search committee to ensure that
    contributions to diversity are being considered and that proactive search practices are used
    for recruiting and selecting new faculty.
    Review list of interview questions to ensure there is no inherit bias.
    Discuss research on selection bias with the search committee.
    Review the diversity of the availability pool and the applicant pool. If the diversity of the
    applicant pool does not reasonably reflect the diversity of the availability pool, suggest
    proactive measures to enhance the diversity of the applicant pool.
    Review the short list of candidates selected for interviews. If this group is not diverse, review
    the files of other applicants (particularly those under serious consideration) to determine if
    candidates of equivalent quality have been overlooked.

applications/resumes.

Evaluation Criteria:

   Create objective selection criteria that can be used to determine the best qualified
   candidate from all applicants who have met the minimum qualifications
   Create identifiers for favorable candidates to be considered for interview
   Criteria should go beyond minimum qualifications, for example:
       Quantity, quality and relevance of education
       Experience, knowledge and other job-related skills
       Qualifications that may be unique to the job and department
   Cultural competence should be considered as a criterion for all recruitment efforts and
   supported by questions that assist with inclusive hiring
