Building a diverse faculty is important at the University of Maine for many reasons, including for enhancing the student experience and ensuring that UM graduates are prepared\u00a0 for success in a global society.<\/p>\n

The Rising Tide Center supports diversifying our faculty to provide, among other benefits, role models for every member of our community. To further this common goal, Human Resources, the Office of Equal Opportunity and the Rising Tide Center collaborated to develop a Faculty Recruitment Handbook<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>that describes best practices for every step of the search and hiring process,\u00a0from drafting an advertisement to interviewing, to\u00a0examining the biases that can prevent the hiring of excellent candidates.<\/p>\n
