Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity
Earlham is committed to providing equal access to employment
opportunities to all qualified persons. Earlham will practice
affirmative action
to assure that women and racial minority candidates are actively
sought for all faculty and staff vacancies. Furthermore, since
Earlham is also committed to maintaining its Quaker identity,
it will aggressively
seek candidates who are Quaker or in congruence with Quaker testimonies.
Responsibility for aggressive affirmative action recruiting lies
with the person conducting the search; for teaching and administrative
faculty positions, the appropriate department or search convener;
for staff positions, the Assistant Vice President for Business
Operations. The Affirmative Action Officer (AAO) should be consulted
for information
and advice and will serve as a check that appropriate procedures
are being followed.
In recruiting and in hiring, Earlham wants to hire the best candidate
for each position. Such a selection ultimately rests on a set
of value judgments. Into that set must be introduced the fact
that
an affirmative action candidate, by virtue of being a woman,
racial minority, or Quaker, brings to the campus a background,
experience
and presence that Earlham values for the diversity this provides
to all concerned. |
