RECRUITMENT AND SUPPORT OF ABORIGINAL FACULTY AND STAFF http://aboriginal.ubc.ca/strategic-plan/plan-text/#faculty The Aboriginal Strategic Plan outlines strategies to attract leading Aboriginal scholars and administrators and other experts to its ranks to diversify its faculty and to develop curricula, research, and public programming for Aboriginal learners and communities about Aboriginal issues and concerns at the highest academic level. FACULTY RECRUITMENT GUIDE http://www.hr.ubc.ca/faculty-relations/recruitment/faculty-recruitment-guide/ The Faculty Recruitment Guide is designed to assist selection committees in recruiting, interviewing, and selecting the best candidate for tenure and tenure-track faculty positions. The guide is intended to provide tools to develop a selection process that is bias-free, that complies with federal government regulations on hiring foreign academics and avoids potential complaints about human rights and privacy violations. Guidelines for diversity, equity, and using inclusive language are highlighted for all hiring processes.
