In Person vs Virtual Interviews
During Spring 2021, all faculty interviews will be conducted remotely. Student worker, staff, and executive staff interviews may be conducted in person if the department head and all applicants are available and agree. For equity among all applicants, the interview process for any job search must be conducted via the same format for every candidate interviewed.
