Faculty Search and Recruitment Resources

  4. Faculty Search and Recruitment Resources

Recruiting and retaining well-qualified faculty with diverse perspectives and experiences is essential to the fulfillment of UNO’s mission and the realization of our vision as a premier metropolitan university. 

Faculty diversity broadens the perspectives involved in conversations and decision-making around strategic planning, the curriculum and degree programs, and engagement with stakeholders.

Additionally, when students are exposed to diverse perspectives and experiences in their classrooms and through independent work with faculty, they are better educated and better prepared for leadership, citizenship, and professional competitiveness in a multicultural society.


Special Faculty Development Program

This program supports the recruitment and hiring of individuals who contribute to the diversity of UNO faculty and educational experiences.

Faculty diversity is broadly defined and stems from myriad sources. Diversity in perspective and experience may derive from:

  • a racial or ethnic background
  • the nation of origin
  • gender identity and expression
  • sexual orientation
  • cognitive ability
  • faculty expertise
  • academic or professional preparation
  • regional upbringing
  • socioeconomic status
  • academic discipline

Nearly 30 UNO faculty have completed the program and another 11 are currently in the program. The program is being expanded in 2020-21 to further support the development of a diverse faculty body at UNO.
