Reducing barriers in the hiring process
SFU facilitates a faculty recruitment process that is compliant with legal and regulatory frameworks at the provincial and federal level, the Collective Agreement between the university and 尤物视频 Faculty Association (鈥淪FUFA鈥�) and university policies.
To maintain our commitments, the following faculty recruitment guidelines were developed to help recruit and hire world-class faculty who enhance SFU鈥檚 foundations of knowledge, improve community engagement and support greater academic success for our students. The guidelines were developed in consultations with SFUFA, Faculty Relations and Equity Office staff, Institutional Strategic Awards under the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation, Indigenous Partners as well as members of the Valuing and Measuring Scholarly Impact Committee. The guidelines will be reviewed annually and updated as needed to ensure compliance with current practices and with the SFUFA Collective Agreement, Employment Standards, and BC Human Rights Code.
