*The composition of a search committee and the charge to the committee from the hiring official are likely to have significant effect on the search, and should be addressed prior to posting a position.

The committee should consist of at least three members, including the chair or hiring official.

Search committee members should understand the position’s substantive areas and be qualified to evaluate applicants/candidates qualifications in these areas.

The search committee should be as diverse as possible - bringing different perspectives, expertise, and backgrounds to the process.

  • It is recommended, but not required, that women and members of historically underrepresented groups be included. As needed and appropriate for the position, these individuals may come from other departments or administrative units on the basis of their expertise.
  • The hiring official should always consider appointing an Equity Coordinator to the search committee. This individual should have a deep knowledge of inclusive recruitment and hiring practices that recognize and mitigate implicit bias in the search process.
