This short, online course was designed for faculty and senior leadership at UBC on search committees. Learners will gain an understanding of how to conduct a fair and thorough search for new faculty members and senior leadership, while minimizing bias and conflict of interest by following a process and using clear search criteria.

This training consists of 4 lessons:

1. Why Diversity is Needed and How it Contributes to Excellence
2. Unconscious Bias and Conflict of Interest
3. Inclusion Skills
4. Process of Search and Selection

We estimate that it will take you 30 minutes to complete this course.
