Strategic Hiring Program

Since 1986, IU's Strategic Hiring Program has assisted academic departments in hiring and retaining minority and senior women faculty. As of the 2005-2006 academic year, a total of 146 scholars have been hired through the Strategic Hiring Program for positions at seven out of ten IUB Schools, the College of Arts and Sciences and the University Libraries. Over the past three academic years alone, the number of minority and senior women faculty hired through the SHP has increased tenfold.

We are confident that through efforts like the Strategic Hiring Program, Indiana University will continue to attract and retain the best and brightest minority and senior women faculty, promote academic research dealing with relevant issues on the minority and gender agendas, offer minority students role models and all students the tools necessary to succeed in our diverse world.
