PURPOSE

The Faculty Search Procedures Handbook has been prepared to assist University faculty with the search procedures for recruiting outstanding and diverse faculty. It should serve as a guide for all individuals involved with the recruitment and retention of University faculty and for those responsible for the administration of the hiring process. The University of Cincinnati is committed to the use of affirmative action measures consistent with applicable laws that ensure an environment of equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees.

The University of Cincinnati affirms its commitment to providing an environment that is conducive to the personal and professional development of each individual in the areas of teaching, learning, research, and service. All members of the University community are responsible for helping to create and maintain an atmosphere that values and nurtures collegiality, diversity, pluralism, and the uniqueness of the individual.

Some colleges and departments may have specific programmatic needs essential to the search process. Such needs and accompanying search practices should be used in tandem with this document insofar as such practices are not in conflict with University policies and guidelines outlined in this Handbook.
