What Is It?
The purpose of a Search Committee is to ensure a fair, equitable, and consistent search process that results in the recruitment and selection of the best‑qualified candidate. Each search should include a diverse Search Advisory Committee with representation from across the campus community (e.g., students, staff, internal and external faculty).
For tenure‑track faculty searches, the committee Chair must be a tenured faculty member.
Early identification of the Search Committee members and Chair(s) is important, as they must be established in the PageUp system before the search begins. If any committee members do not already have PageUp access, submit an Electronic Personnel Security Request Form to ensure their access is retained.
Search Committee members can only be added to the posting through a ticket, and the request must include confirmation that the Chair has approved the committee composition.
Once the committee is finalized, provide members with the Search Committee Advisory Guidelines so they can begin familiarizing themselves with their roles and responsibilities.
