Search Committee Education<\/h2>\n

ÌÇÐÄvlog is committed to recruiting a workforce that reflects the diversity and talents of New Jersey, the larger metropolitan area, and the nation. The University therefore seeks to recognize and draw upon the talents of a diverse range of outstanding faculty and staff, and to foster the free exploration and expression of differing ideas, beliefs and perspectives through scholarly inquiry and civil discourse.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your interest in joining a Search Committee. Search Committees play a prominent role in achieving the University\u2019s commitment to fair and inclusive hiring practices. All Search Committee members, therefore, must complete the self-directed Search Committee Compliance Training facilitated by The Office of Inclusive Excellence. The self-directed training is now available on Vector Solutions Learning Management System. Each Search Committee member must complete this self-directed training requirement annually, and before the candidate, interviews begin. Attendance will be tracked, and search committee members will be compliant for one fiscal year.<\/p>\n
