4.3 On-campus Interviews

For tenure-track candidates, some departments and programs wish to hold additional formal interviews during the campus visit. These interviews may include other members of the Hiring Unit beyond the search committee and school, including the Dean and/or Associate Deans, and may revisit questions from the initial interviews or venture into supplemental topics.9 If the department wishes to schedule additional on-campus interviews, they must do so for all candidates. On-campus interviews are typically less formal than initial interviews and should provide time for the candidate to ask any additional questions.

——————————

9 If graduate students are included in the interviews, or if the candidate meets separately with graduate students as a group, the graduate students likewise should be informed of the professional expectations in interviews and be clearly informed about questions that are inappropriate. (see Appendix I for additional information).
