Affirmative Action Compliance

The Johnson School monitors its academic and nonacademic hiring, searches and selection procedures in cooperation with the Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality. Indicated below is a summary of the monitoring activities used when reviewing the hiring process for filling academic and nonacademic positions.

In the case of academic searches, the Administrative Service Center looks for evidence of recruitment sources used to attract highly qualified, diverse and sufficiently sized pools of candidates. When the position is within the tenure system, it is advertised nationally, as well as within the University. Other continuing appointments (including academic and nonacademic exempt positions) are advertised nationally or within an appropriate geographic area for the appointment. In the case of nonexempt appointments, searches are usually limited to the immediate area or surrounding cities; e.g., Binghamton, Syracuse, Elmira.

When underutilization exists for women and/or minorities, the recruitment plan should include sources to target the underutilized groups. The Administrative Service Center is continuously looking for evidence of creative recruitment strategies. Advertising positions only in traditional publications frequently results in creating only a traditional application pool.

Positions should be advertised in a manner that will bring them to the attention of women and minorities and the Administrative Service Center, Hiring Supervisor and/or Chairperson of the Search Committee should actively seek to identify qualified applicants from these groups.

The Adminstrative Service Center would like to have the opportunity to review the list of final candidates and no offers should be extended without following proper procedures.
