<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:windowtext">Recruitment during the 2019-2020 academic year for appointments beginning fall 2020 will be funded through the reallocation of positions
that become vacant due to retirements or resignations, with the exception of the Edwards Campus positions. Please ensure that all faculty planning to retire or resign before fall 2019 submit a written statement of their intentions, along with your endorsement
as chair or director. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:windowtext">It is uncertain how many searches the Dean’s Office will be able to authorize due to major College and University budget cuts. We will
determine the number of approved faculty searches as the College’s budget situation becomes clearer. In the meantime, it is important that each unit take time to substantively consider faculty hiring needs that are of the utmost importance. We anticipate
being able to approve a limited number of searches, so your hiring justifications need to clearly articulate the impact of each proposed faculty hire to help us prioritize faculty searches across the College. That said, your unit should make requests that
you and your colleagues deem most appropriate, budgetary constraints notwithstanding.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:windowtext">Your proposal should take into account priorities at the College and University levels, as well as the strategic planning you are currently
doing within your unit. It is also helpful to understand how the proposed positions strengthen your department or program’s scholarly stature more broadly and within the context of changes in the unit (e.g., faculty lost to attrition or retirement).

<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:windowtext">One revised feature of this year’s faculty recruitment call is the opportunity to nominate an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor for
a targeted hire in your unit through the College’s newly announced Langston Hughes Professorship initiative. You are invited to submit a single nominee at any rank for this professorship. This nominee’s specialty should align with your unit’s hiring priorities.
In line with the Office of Diversity and Equity’s “Excellence in Diversity” hiring guidelines, you generally should consider positions that may strategically increase the diversity of the College.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
