SELECTION PROCESS
The committee and hiring authority shall conduct selection within the guidelines set forth by University of Wisconsin Stevens Point Human Resources. The committee selection process will follow procedures to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and UW System policies and regulations. If an individual participating on a recruitment committee feels unfairly excluded from a recruitment committee during the recruitment, they should contact Human Resources right away. Encouraging qualified candidates to apply will not be curtailed, however, it must only be done without any promises or guarantees of employment.
