Diversity Recruitment Resources: Appendices

Marquette University does not discriminate in any manner contrary to law or justice on the basis of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, veteran’s status, or national origin in its educational programs or activities, including employment and admissions.  At Marquette, we are dedicated to nurturing an inclusive, diverse community that fosters new opportunities, partnerships, collaboration and vigorous yet respectful debate. We welcome and respect all our diverse constituents and value their contributions to our vibrant campus community. This commitment is reflected in our educational mission and in our programs, initiatives, service, and scholarly activity.

The [unit/department] seeks candidates with a proven record of contributing to equity, diversity, and inclusion [in their research, teaching, and service/previous professional role(s)]. Candidates should be prepared to identify strengths and experiences in this area, such as through [educating students to become global citizens and a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for all students regardless of background.]

Note: Most underrepresented candidates are looking at job postings in the same places as majority population candidates. That said, advertising on listservs, websites and through associations that are affinity-based and often discipline-specific can be effective if the position description gives a clear indication that diversity is important. Posting in these spaces will increase exposure to not only the position but also our institution as a whole.
