Search Committee Orientation on Unconscious Bias in Search and Interview Processes

Objectives:

To foster an awareness of unconscious bias within the recruitment process and mitigate and/or eliminate this unconscious bias through heightened awareness with the end goal of hiring a more diverse faculty.

We will train individual faculty to give search committee orientations regarding the scientific research on how unconscious bias influences the recruitment and hiring process. Toolkits on conducting interviews will also be available to improve the likelihood of hiring the best candidates.
