Job Announcement Principles, Guiding Questions, and Equity Framework

What should be our fundamental PRINCIPLE?

When creating your JOB ANNOUNCEMENT, use the following principles to design and write the description:

• Principle 1: Equity-minded language throughout all written materials associated with the hiring process
• Principle 2: Equity-minded characteristics clearly communicated and attributed to the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to perform the job

What GUIDING QUESTIONS should we use?

As you design JOB ANNOUNCEMENT, ask the following questions:

• Does our job description describe the gender, racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of your campus community, including faculty, students, and staff?
• Does the job description explain what programs and practices are in place to support diverse faculty?
• Have we defined equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and social justice, and terms relevant to the principles and criteria we are looking for in a faculty member?

Which EQUITY FRAMEWORK foundations should focus our work?

Use the following equity foundations to frame your JOB ANNOUNCEMENT:

II	Race-conscious	Critical and reflective of color-evasive ideology
III	Institutionally focused	Reflective and proactive, seeking institutional solutions
V	Equity advancing	Willing to assess own practice and accountable to closing equity gaps
