Search Committee Education
Thank you for your interest in serving on a Search Committee. Search Committees play an important role in advancing the University’s commitment to fair, equitable, and inclusive hiring practices.
All Search Committee members are required to complete the self-directed Search Committee Compliance Training facilitated by the Office of Inclusive Excellence. The training is available through the Vector Solutions Learning Management System and must be completed annually before candidate interviews begin.
Completion will be tracked, and Search Committee members will remain compliant for one fiscal year.
Your NETID will be required to access this training. You will be redirected to the Vector Solutions Site to complete this training. You must complete all modules and receive a certificate of completion. Completion of the annual training is required before candidate interviewing may begin.
Search Committee members who participate in more than one search during an academic year shall attest to completion in Workday’s “To Do” section. The Office of Inclusive Excellence will verify. You do not need to send a copy of your completed training to the Inclusive Excellence staff.
Upon completion of the self-directed training, search committee members will be invited to join periodic Question & Answers forums related to the training content to supplement search committee member’s learning. We encourage your participation in this optional session.
