Inclusion and Equity Committee Diverse Recruitment Task Force 2 “Current University Libraries and UNLV Practices”

The Diverse Recruitment Task Force 2 was charged with reviewing current UNLV and UNLV University Libraries best practices and making recommendations to recruit and hire faculty and staff from underrepresented groups. This report is organized into several sections. First, the task force offers specific recommendations for classified staff as the hiring process for classified staff is so different from the process for academic and administrative faculty. Second, the task force would like to point out that if it is the goal of the Libraries to have a staff that more closely resembles the local student population, then the Libraries should focus on local student and staff populations for recruitment and hiring. Finally, the task force offers recommendations that may improve the processes of recruiting, hiring, and retaining academic and administrative faculty
