Equity in Faculty Hiring Resources and Tools
CSUN has now fully implemented the Provost’s Equity in Faculty Hiring Initiative with a new, comprehensive toolkit that emphasizes best practices for ensuring equitable searches in compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity principles. The toolkit provides a step-by-step process, including examples and templates, for each phase of the recruitment. The new approach marks a change in practice and leverages new opportunities for both affirmative outreach and inclusive practices in search and screen procedures. Colleges have expressed enthusiasm for reinvigorating the search and screen process, so this comes at an important time.”
As part of the Equity in Hiring Initiative, we have designated Faculty Equity & Compliance Representatives (FECRs) in each of the Colleges who will work with the Office of Equity and Compliance to ensure that all searches meet Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) best practices that will help the campus achieve its goals of diversifying the faculty through an equitable and inclusive search process. Each college’s FECR is available to answer questions and assist search committees as they prepare their search documents (see the links to FECRs and Equity Initiative Personnel below). CSUN seeks to foster inclusive excellence and equitable outcomes in recruitment and hiring practices through the implementation of innovative, evidence-based practices that will bolster the retention of faculty from underserved groups. This page includes links to clear, simple to use resources that will advance the university's existing good work in recruitment to a stronger alignment with CSUN's values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
