The College shall maintain a program of active employee recruitment which provides timely notice of employment opportunities to as broad and diverse a pool of well-qualified potential employees as feasible. To maximize faculty-position applications, the College should usually make offers for faculty positions before most college faculty have been asked to commit themselves to continue at their current institutions.

The President shall provide an annual report to the Board on the nature and results of the College's recruitment efforts. This report shall identify and explain any areas in which recruitment efforts failed to supply the desired number or range of applicants, and summarize plans to address such failures. The report shall include appropriate comparisons of the characteristics of the people hired (including age, gender, ethnicity, and prior experience) to those of the existing staff, the qualified-applicant pool, the pool of potential applicants meeting the job qualifications, and the staff of comparable institutions. Reasonable estimates may be used in the comparisons when exact data is not accessible, provided that the basis for each estimate is stated.
