Abstract

Institutions utilize search committee training to better equip participants with the tools needed to execute a fair search process. This study examines the ways in which equity-minded search training might assist participants in centering diversity and equity in their searches at one Predominantly White Institution. Findings shed light on how an intentionally designed equity-minded search training might serve as a mechanism to enable a more equitable faculty search process.
