Monthly OAA Announcements

As the end of the year quickly approaches, we want to ensure there is transparency in our workloads so we can work together to process all actions in a timely manner. Please review the announcement on the OAA Website with guidance tailored by group with OAA. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

A list of our planned roundtables for next year is up on the website. If there is an additional topic you would be interested in adding to the schedule, please contact Elisabeth Cagle.

When submitting practice policy exemption (PPE) forms, you may now submit these requests to Rowan Geistmann. If anyone has any questions regarding PPEs, please contact Rowan and copy Ashley Klein. The contact page on OAA’s website has also been updated to reflect this.

The Provost’s Office has reminded us that we are to avoid any communications or announcements regarding incoming faculty, such as department website updates or a candidate’s social media postings, prior to the incumbent's official appointment approval. We appreciate your help to monitor communications to this effect until you receive notice of Provost’s office approval from OAA. Thank you!

There is a new report available in FSAT to all users with Department Admin authority. The “Troubleshooting Demographic Report” is meant to help users track faculty candidates’ status history at a glance.  We hope this report will prove useful when the number of candidates in the applicant pool (Meets Basic Requirements), the Long List, and the Short List do not match what is reflected in the Demographic Report.    

As a reminder, please be sure to “close” all completed searches in FSAT. We need to accurately account for the final status of each search (“Filled”, “Not Filled”, “Canceled”), as well as for each candidate within the search.  Please take care to select the correct applicant status for each candidate that meets basic requirements. Final status options are: “Not Selected”, “Not Selected- Definitive Pool”, “Offer Declined”, or “Offer Accepted”. Please note that those candidates who were not selected, but were in the definitive pool, should be placed in the “Not Selected- Definitive Pool” status. This reporting is tracked at the University level..    

At the direction of the Provost’s Office, there have been changes to some optional field label wording in application forms used within FSAT for all Schools.  Stanford does not ask for a stand-alone diversity statement as part of the application process for faculty positions.  In order to eliminate any possible confusion created by the optional field labels, the "Optional Diversity Statement" field is now labeled "Supplemental Application Materials #4 (see ad, e.g. cover letter, publication reprints, additional research and/or teaching statements)".
