It is very important that searches appear transparent and open, and that campus constituencies are included in the search process by providing opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to meet with candidates who come to campus. Arranging for multiple meetings that include all interested groups can be a logistical challenge, but it is a critical part of the search process and every effort should be made to allow ample opportunity for participation when candidates come to campus. Search Committees are encouraged to maintain regular communication with the various campus constituencies who might be interested in the progress and outcome of the search. This communication may include campus-wide e-mails, announcements at the Faculty Senate, requests to participate in Open Forums, and requests for input and feedback for as much information as possible without compromising the confidentiality of Search Committee discussions. Search Committees should provide regular updates to the campus on the progress of searches that have campus-wide impact. Campus-wide forums should include an opportunity for attendees to sign in and provide feedback to the Search Committee, through a short survey or questionnaire. The Faculty Senate Appointments and Personnel Committee may contact Search Committee Chairs for information and regular updates regarding searches. While Search Committee deliberations are confidential, committees are encouraged to share as much other information about the search as possible with interested groups on campus.
