Diversity Statement Required for All Applicants
At Stanford, we strive to ensure that a diversity of cultures, races and ethnicities, genders, political and religious beliefs, physical and learning differences, sexual orientations and identities is thriving on our campus. Such diversity will inspire new angles of inquiry, new modes of analysis, new discoveries and new solutions.
As part of your application, all faculty candidate’s must include a statement which clearly articulates why diversity and inclusion are important to you, describing your past, present, and future (planned) contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
To learn more about how Stanford thinks about contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion, please review our IDEAL website, found here.
o First Search Committee Meeting
· The Office of Faculty Development and Diversity (OFDD) must be invited to do a diversity presentation. Schedule with Kathleen Victor 4-5 weeks in advance of first search committee meeting. She will provide a link to a video on “unconscious bias” to be sent to the committee before the first meeting.
· Discuss role of diversity representative
· Print Copies of Advertisement and Solicitation letter to be reviewed during the meeting
· Print candidate CV’s (if any received) to be reviewed during the meeting and discuss who should be invited for first round of interviews
· Conflict of interest guidelines should be reviewed and discussed. If a conflict of interest is identified, contact your academic affairs representative.
· Discuss outreach efforts outside of sending solicitation letter and posting Ad (search committee members contacting potential candidates, announcements at meetings, etc.). Division should keep a record of all outreach efforts to be included in search report once final candidate is identified
· Determine reoccurring meeting interval- monthly works well.
o Solicitation Letter must be sent via e-mail to all Pediatrics Department Chairs nationwide (Academic Affairs will attach the e-mail list in search approval notification)
