Faculty Hire Resources: Readings on Diverse Faculty Hiring The University of Denver is strongly committed to the pursuit of excellence by including and integrating individuals who represent different groups including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio‐economic background, age, disability, national origin and religion. The Center for Multicultural Excellence is available to support the efforts of hiring managers to conduct search processes that are fair and include a large diverse pool of applicants. By achieving and maintaining a multicultural constituency of administrators, faculty and staff, we as an institution can gain an edge in educational and research opportunities and in preparing students for living and working in an increasingly diverse and global society. The following references are from the forthcoming Faculty Hiring Guide, and provide hiring officers and search committees additional readings on the importance of and practices of diverse candidates pools and faculty.
