Confidentiality Requirements & Guidelines

Certain materials of a search (e.g., extramural letters of reference) are governed by University regulations and laws concerning confidentiality (APM 160).
At the department’s discretion, non-senate members of the search committee, including graduate students, may have access to confidential materials. Any such access is governed by the same confidentiality safeguards that govern faculty.
Review of materials must be done without regard to the applicant’s sex, age and/or ethnicity.
