5.1 Diversity Outreach Requirements

Search committees are required to have the relevant Department Approver and Executive Approver certify the adequacy of diversity outreach efforts before the application process is closed and a list of candidates to be interviewed is completed. If all reasonably possible outreach has not been undertaken and the pool of applicants is not broadly diverse, including applicants who are ethnically and/or racially diverse, then the search committee will be required to continue outreach before the applicant pool is closed and the potential candidate pool is complete.
