Appendix L: Faculty Diversity Resolution
Diversity
In the Fall of 2006, the faculty adopted the following resolution related to faculty diversity:
Faculty recruitment is critical to the promotion of racial, ethnic, and other diversity on
campus. Accordingly, no faculty position search may commence until the Provost
approves a plan, submitted by the department/program conducting the search, that
maximizes the possibility of achieving greater diversity. In addition to other topics, the
plan must address how the search will insure the following: announcements are placed in
publications that serve diverse audiences; contacts are made with professional
organizations which serve diverse memberships; and, contacts are made to professional
colleagues who may be in a position to identify potential applicants who would increase
the diversity of the applicant pool.
