2. Departmental Contributions:
In hiring of staff, we follow Human Resources' protocol and advice during interview selections. We have also created a checklist for procedures during staff hires. This checklist helps to ensure we are using best practices for equity and inclusion when reviewing applicants, and ensures that these efforts are documented.
One staff member is on our departmental Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity committee and all staff will be involved in our upcoming training on best practices for equity and inclusion during hiring and retention, funded by a grant from CAS.
Staff are encouraged to join campus committees and events that will allow them to advocate for fair and balanced procedures in all campus operations and policies. One staff member served on the UO’s inaugural Presidential Sexual Assault Advisory Council to advise and help draft policy on issues related to the prevention-of and response-to gender-based misconduct within our campus community.
4. Professional Development and Training:
All staff are encouraged to attend professional development opportunities involving equity, inclusion and diversity efforts.
