The position announcement must include a required job qualification indicating that candidates and/or applicants be able to demonstrate job-related experience with fostering a welcoming and respectful work environment and/or otherwise demonstrate their ability to foster a welcoming and respectful work/academic environment for people from all types of backgrounds.
Examples of language that may be used in advertisements to satisfy this requirement are listed in the Office of Civil Rights Compliance's Faculty/Staff Recruitment Manual.
