Faculty Recruitment

General Statement and Purpose

The University of Virginia and its Board of Visitors support equal employment and affirmative action in hiring decisions, and the President affirms this commitment in seeking to achieve racial, ethnic and gender diversity among the faculty. In order to further the effective practice of equal opportunity and affirmative action in faculty recruiting and hiring initiatives, the University has adopted specific faculty recruitment and appointment procedures.

As a federal contractor, the University of Virginia is required to engage in outreach and other efforts to broaden the pool of qualified applicants to include groups previously excluded from consideration. Equal employment opportunity ensures individuals the right to be treated on a non-discriminatory basis. Affirmative action is a set of positive steps the employer uses to promote access and opportunity, and to eliminate discrimination. Unlike equal opportunity, affirmative action is a proactive concept that implies aggressive, vigorous, and systematic activities to achieve equality and equity for all.

The Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) monitors the faculty recruitment and hiring process to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state laws; to ensure all applicants equitable consideration; and to strengthen the University's effort to broaden the pool of qualified applicants to include members of underrepresented groups.

All applications are required to be acknowledged when received and each applicant must immediately be sent an "Applicant Information Form" to be returned to EOP. Applications may be acknowledged either by e-mail or by sending a hard copy through the US Postal Service.
