Dear Search Committee Chair:

Towson University is committed to fostering a learning community that mirrors the face of the population surrounding the campus, regionally and Statewide. University diversity initiatives include building strong, targeted diversity outreach efforts to foster the achievement of diversity goals in hiring. This Outreach Guide for Faculty Recruitment was developed by TU’s Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity as a tool to assist you, and your search committee, to support the University’s guiding principle of fostering a diverse and inclusive community. The Outreach Guide for Faculty Recruitment identifies resources that will assist your search committee with efforts to reach a diverse pool of candidates.

Working together, we can establish and maintain a campus community that: challenges students’ perspectives by providing a complete educational experience; promotes social, racial, ethnic, and political understanding by recognizing and respecting the rights of all individuals; enhances students’ professional development by exposing them to diverse perspectives and assists students in understanding how to effectively perform in a democratic multicultural society. We trust that you will find this guide helpful. Please feel free to contact the office, 4-2360, at any time during the search process. We are pleased to respond to questions or concerns that you may have during the search process. Thank you for all you do to support a welcoming campus environment for our faculty, staff, and student bodies.

Sincerely,

Debbie Seeberger, Ph.D.Assistant Vice President for Diversity and InclusionOffice of the ProvostAD 311Cx4-2360

Before the Search (Ongoing)

The Academic Department Should:

Develop relationships with minority organizations, locally and nationally.

Develop relationships and foster partnerships with faculty and students of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions.

Note that waiting until a search has begun to make contact with these organizations is often not effective. It is best to maintain ongoing relationships in order to demonstrate Towson University’s commitment to diversity.

Preparation of Vacancy Announcement:

It is recommended that vacancy announcements include a statement which will serve to attract diverse applicants. Below are several examples:

A record of scholarship in areas related to diversity. Experience with a variety of teaching methods or curricular

perspectives. Previous experience interacting with communities of color. Interest in developing and implementing curricula that address

multicultural issues. Demonstrated success in working with diverse populations of

students.

Diversity in Hiring Goal:

Building a strong, targeted diversity outreach effort to achieve diversity in hiring has been identified in Towson University 2010: Mapping the Future as an institutional goal. In order to facilitate the achievement of this goal, members of faculty search committees should take steps to ensure that applicant pools include highly-qualified, diverse candidates. The development and implementation of action-oriented steps to expand applicant pools is critical and should be attended to during the first few, and subsequent, meetings of the search committee. It is important to note that advertising in traditional venues will ensure an applicant pool of traditional candidates.

Examples of action-oriented steps:

1. Advertising in publications that target diverse populations.(see Internet Resources & Publications)

2. Contacting women and minorities who have held or currently hold part-time positions

3. Making direct contact with academic units at other universities. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the Department of Labor expect personal networking and contacts by search committee members.

4. Requesting that faculty members attending professional meetings and conferences combine their visits with recruiting efforts

5. Visiting universities that graduate a large number of minority and/or female individuals with Ph.D.'s within the discipline (see Targeted Outreach Resources Guide, II. Minority Colleges and Universities with Doctoral Programs)

6. Visit fellows' day at doctoral programs supporting individuals working toward completion of the terminal degree

Note: Two or more outreach efforts are required and should be documented and

reported to the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (Towson University Faculty and Professional Librarian Hiring Procedures, p. 3).
