We in the UNCG College of Arts and Sciences seek to create a maximally diverse and inclusive community. Diversity promotes academic excellence by inspiring creativity and innovation and challenges us to stretch, learn, and grow. As one mechanism towards the goal of increasing the diversity of our faculty, this document outlines steps that search committees in the College of Arts and Sciences are recommended to take as part of the recruitment process. Additionally, search committee members are welcome to seek input or advice from members of the Diversity Committee or the Dean’s office staff in the College of Arts and Sciences at any time in the search process.
