The principles of inclusive excellence are infused throughout the teaching, research, and service conducted in the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For several years, Fairmount College has included an advocate on every search committee for hiring new faculty. These search advocates, faculty members with expertise in hiring best practices, advise the committees on which they serve on issues ranging from generating a diverse pool of applicants to conducting fair and inclusive interviews to planning successful campus visits. Advocates, together with the dean, have designed standards to guide their work.
Fairmount College also is committed to instituting the recommendations made by the Advance Grant team, awarded $3,900,000 from the National Science Foundation to recruit more women and people of color to 性色视频 State's STEM fields and improve the experiences of women and faculty of color already at WSU.
