PA-7: Support for Future Faculty Diversity

UWSP Growth Agenda contains proposals for recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty and staff through Inclusive Excellence. Regarding faculty and staff recruitment and retention, UWSP will undertake measures that are more proactive than simply listing positions in professional and trade publications. These measures will include personal contact between UWSP administrators, faculty and staff and administrators, faculty, and staff at institutions that can provide us with viable candidates for positions at UWSP. This contact must be more than written or verbal contact via e-mail, mail, or over the phone. This contact must be aggressive; faculty, staff, and administrators must visit institutions and organizations that would be our source of employees. We must invite representatives to our campus in order to promote the attractions of employment at UWSP. We must attend conferences and meetings that provide the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues across the country and internationally, so that when positions are available at UWSP, our campus and its surrounding community will be known as an attractive institution at which to build a career and location in which to establish a long-term residence. The EAA Office sponsored several workshops in 2013 "Hiring for Excellence" The EAA Office provides many diversity recruiting resources to search and screen committees found at http://www.uwsp.edu/equity/Pages/hiringResources.aspx
