[DEOC] [EXTERNAL] request: equitable screening and hiring practices training content

[Davenport, Chari]

Hello there, at Cascadia we have Equity Advocates and also use the Oregon State training program. Our Equity Advocates primarily serve on hiring committees, but we are exploring having them also assist with tenure track decisions and other areas where we can use an E&I lens when making decisions. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Iesha,

BTC currently has a Search Advocate program, most of our hiring committees require a search advocate(sa) that works toward creating an equitable hiring process on our campus. There are a few union jobs that don’t require it but that we still try to put a SA on. We utilize the Oregon State University training<https://searchadvocate.oregonstate.edu/> and send folks through each year. Its one of the better trainings I have been to in the past few years. However, the fall back to this that BTC is working on is that our SA are trained but our chairs are not, so we are requesting that chair training starts happening. SA have also found they have info that sometimes chairs or committees don’t take seriously and there is a larger process beyond training that makes SA more useful and less useful aka policy, procedure, and praxis that allows for the SA to be a useful and well-functioning member of a search committee.



I am happy to chat more about our program and what we do!





Best,

하나(Hannah)

Hi all – I’m looking to revamp how we prepare, equip, and hold accountable hiring screening committee members for reviewing applicants, interviewing, and evaluating them equitably and being transparent about biases that are present. Do you have any content you would like to share that you have found useful?
