Who Should Complete This Course

  • Completion of the live consultation/training (in-person or virtual) or online training is required for anyone voting on tenured and tenure-track faculty hires. Again, this must be completed if new to the faculty search process and/or if the training has not been completed within the last three years. 
  • Faculty members not serving on a search committee but who vote or participate in tenured or tenure-track searches may either take the live virtual consultation with the search committee or complete the online training.
  • Anyone participating in a non-tenure-track search is required to take the online training. The live consultation/training (either in-person or virtual) is also available for these search committees upon request.
