Appointment and Reappointment Letters
Access to templates for appointment and reappointment letters is limited to approved users and you must be logged in to view them. If you do not have access and you think you should, please ask the budget director or other senior administrator in your dean's office who will then request access by emailing facultyaffairs@syr.edu.
Faculty Hiring and Inclusive Excellence
Support for inclusive searching and equitable faculty hiring is available through both an online toolkit and workshops offered by Faculty Affairs.
Each workshop consists of two parts:
- Part 1: Countering Norms and Patterns that surround faculty hiring. In this part (approximately 35 minutes), participants will review tips and share strategies for writing better job descriptions, how to make skills related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility a feature of the position, and rethinking strategies for recruitment and outreach, including how to expand social and professional networks.
- Part 2: Identifying and Mitigating Common Biases. In this part (approximately 55 minutes), participants will demonstrate an understanding of biases that are common in evaluative tasks, as well as strategies to identify and mitigate their effects.
The full workshop is 90 minutes. If you cannot attend for the full 90 minutes, please select at least two options below.
