Even with the best of intentions, implicit bias in your recruiting and hiring process can reduce your schools chances of creating and sustaining the diverse team you’re trying to achieve. Implicit bias refers to subtle cognitive processes that can happen so fast that they often operate below conscious awareness. But they can still affect the actions you take and the decisions you make.
Recent research helps us better understand the role that implicit bias can play in the faculty recruitment process and in hiring decisions. Because were all vulnerable to implicit bias, knowing what it is, how it can influence your decisions, and the practical strategies you can use to reduce its impact are key to increasing your chances of hiring and retaining a more culturally diverse faculty for your school. This is something that recent studies have also shown can provide significant benefits to your students.
