• Include the College’s nondiscrimination statement in all recruitment advertising.
• Distribute position advertisements and vacancy notices to media and referral sources with significant minority and female constituencies.
• Utilize minority referral resources.
• Utilize the screening process and selection procedures to affirmatively interview and hire.
• Continue to encourage members of underrepresented populations to participate in formal and informal training programs to prepare them for advancement opportunities.
