Assessing the Effectiveness of Inclusive Practices in Faculty Search Committee Trainings
Teresa Sosa; Amol Prakash
Assessment Update, v37 n2 p10-11, 13-14 2025
In response to the need for greater racial and ethnic diversity, the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) at Indiana University Indianapolis introduced a mandatory equity and inclusion-centered training program for faculty search committees in August 2023. This training addresses key challenges in achieving faculty diversity, including biases, narrow search criteria, and a lack of transparency in the hiring process (Culpepper et al. 2023; Liera and Hernandez 2021). This article provides an overview of the training program and the data collected to evaluate its effectiveness. While initial changes were observed, attributing these directly to the program's impact on hiring outcomes requires longitudinal research, which the authors are collecting. Nonetheless, this work can illuminate promising practices, highlight areas for further research, and contribute to the broader literature on effective training approaches.
