Guide for IU Bloomington Academic Searches
The mission of the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) is to protect the rights of each individual and to ensure their equal access in all aspects of employment, education, and participation within the University. OIE works with the IU Bloomington Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs (VPFAA) to ensure that academic hiring practices conform with our federal and state obligations, to promote best practices toward creating diverse applicant pools, a diverse workforce, and to support an equitable work environment. This guide provides instructions for conducting fair and equitable searches, maintaining proper documentation, and the steps necessary to obtain approvals from OIE through this process.
