From an Assistant Professor:
Dear colleagues,
I'm sending you here the guidelines that Suzy would like departments to take into
account when creating our template as well as the draft that Janie, Johnnie, Jimmie and
me wrote in November. Please let us know if there is anything you think we should
change or include and we will present you an edited version of the templates in the next
faculty meeting.
Also, Suzy just sent this week an e-mail commenting that the templates should
particularly emphasize the recruitment and retention of "faculty of color" as they are the
most underrepresented of underrepresented groups among CHASS faculty. So, I think
that we might need to do some rewriting of the introduction.
One last thing: A few people have sent me recommendations of alternative venues to
advertise job positions (part of point 1 in the "3 Recruitment Ideas"). I don't think it is
necessary to attach the list when sending the templates to the Advisory Committee but I
think we should really work on it since Suzy told us that it's a key factor to improve
recruitment. So if you think about alternative venues to post a job in each of your
languages, please let us know.
Thank you very much for your help,
From a Postdoctoral Teaching Scholar:
Thank you, Diana. I wasn't present to that particular meeting, but the documents you
attached are insightful and I appreciate that you included nonTT faculty in your email. I
was wondering if the diversity criteria would also include nationality and age,
since during this difficult times older faculty could find themselves on the market again,
with dim chances to get re-hired, and more people from overseas countries look up to
the American academia. I don't like the word "race", and personnaly I would replace it
with "ethnicity", which I found more ecompassing for the diversity we are talking about.
