A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:
The Westminster College Best Practices Hiring Guide has been created to assist faculty search committees, program chairs, and deans as they conduct searches that support Westminster’s commitment to achieving academic excellence through hiring a diverse, high quality faculty that values the learning paradigm. Ensuring that Westminster’s faculty is comprised of academic experts with a broad range of lived experience, perspectives, and world views as well as a focus on inclusive, learning-centered pedagogy enhance the quality of the College, student learning, and the campus community. It also ensures that Westminster is positioned to meet its mission to prepare all students for success in a diverse and interdependent world.
Westminster also has a postdoc program aimed at hiring recent graduate students from populations that are traditionally underrepresented in higher education. The goal is to provide them with the training and experience needed to move into full time faculty positions. Currently Westminster has four people in these positions.
