Affirmative Action Forms for Faculty Search

Diversity is a process, not an outcome.

Effective immediately - the University is updating the manner in which faculty search information is submitted to the Office of Equal Opportunity. The following data requirements must be adhered to and submitted in total to the Faculty Diversity Officer for the granting of Affirmative Action approval. Failure to comply could have costly implications for any contracts with the federal government.

The University is required by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) guidelines to maintain specific summary information about the search process, applicants and hires. The Chair of the search committee is responsible for ensuring that complete records are kept during the search, and that all search files are kept for five years from the dates of appointment of the candidate selected.

The Faculty Candidate Affirmative Action online survey must be emailed to all qualified applicants for whom an email address is available. The link and sample email is found here

To meet OFCCP reporting requirements, please use the updated process and new forms below. The memo of amended instructions can be downloaded here. Contact Amanda Shaffer, Interim Faculty Diversity Officer, (Tel: 216.368.4299) if you have questions or need assistance with this process.

Step One: Form #1 and #2 are completed at the start of a search before you advertise
