Faculty Search Committee Manual

This manual is designed to ensure that all faculty members, as participants of a search committee involved in the selection of personnel, are knowledgeable about the employment procedure that must be followed to comply with the laws, regulations, and guidelines that govern the process.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, prohibits all forms of discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, protects persons over 40 from discrimination on the basis of age in any terms or conditions of employment. In addition, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) extends federal civil rights protection in several areas to disabled individuals. Veterans may be entitled to employment preferences established in the Veteran's Employment Preference Action (Senate Bill 646/Chapter 657, Government Code).

The University of Texas at Arlington, an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, or veteran's status in employment or the provision of services.
