Shortlist Composition and Verification

Please remind your search committee chairs to verify their shortlists, once composed, with the Associate Provost (Equity & Academic Policies) (AP-EAP), according to the following processes:

  1. Search committees must ensure that at least听one shortlisted candidate is a member of a designated equity group. This determination is made by consulting our Senior Employment Equity Advisor, Tynan Jarrett (tynan.jarrett [at] mcgill.ca).
  2. As early as possible, search committee chairs will share their shortlists (by email: tynan.jarrett [at] mcgill.ca) confirming that these include at least one member of a designated equity group.
  3. We will review shortlists and confirm that these meet equity requirements within one business day.
  4. The Dean's recommendation for a new appointment must be accompanied by both the employment equity data report and a copy of the correspondence described in #3 above.

Equity Training

All听search committee chairs and members must participate in equity training and all faculty are encouraged to take part.

To register for a session, please go the APO website.
