The Office of Equal Opportunity Services and the Office of the Provost work together to assist the Deans and Academic Departments during faculty searches by providing training, responding to questions related to the Faculty Recruitment guidelines, and serving as a resource on other issues that may arise during the recruitment process. It is critical that search committees follow EEO guidelines as well as University processes and procedures to ensure successful searches. EOS functions as the EEO Office responsible for monitoring and coordinating the faculty recruitment process for the purpose of compliance with search procedures, university policies, and legal regulatory requirements. EOS further provides guidance to ensure that the University's goal of identifying, recruiting and retaining highly qualified, talented, and diverse faculty, including women, members of underrepresented groups, veterans, and individuals with disabilities for positions in all academic fields is achieved. Our collaborative efforts also include assisting search committees to expedite their search process while ensuring compliance to guidelines so they may have a competitive advantage in identifying and selecting outstanding new faculty for their colleges and departments. By working together we all stand to reap the benefits our new colleagues will bring to our campus as we strive to reach the University’s goal of becoming a premier research institution.
Questions, comments, and/or suggestions should be directed to EOS.Office@utsa.edu.
