DEI statements, which are increasingly used in faculty hiring and promotion, often generate confusion and consternation. In the spirit of continuing discussion on the subject matter, our guest will explore the issues related to the use of such statements in academia and their impact on academic freedom. Dr. Randall Kennedy (Harvard Law School) will provide a different viewpoint on DEI statements from that supported in last year’s webinar with Dr. Brian Soucek.

The Office for Faculty Advancement and UW ADVANCE have teamed up to offer a Webinar on practical strategies for running successful faculty searches either mostly or entirely online. We will explore questions like: Which aspects of faculty hiring can be easily adapted to virtual environments, and which aspects may need to be retooled or rethought? How can units run effective committee meetings and deliberations? How can you plan for potentially hosting campus visits through Zoom or similar platforms? How can you and the faculty candidate best get what you want and need from the virtual faculty hiring experience?
