Article 9: Appointments

(a): The employer shall include, as a minimum statement in all advertisements for bargaining unit positions that the University welcomes applications from all qualified women and men, including members of visible minorities, aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity.

(b): The employer shall establish search procedures, which may vary among faculties, but which shall require at least:

(i): consultation with informed individuals selected by the Dean from within the unit(s) or sub-unit(s) or elsewhere in the University, for the purpose of identifying suitable prospective candidates, and

(ii): letters from the unit or sub-unit chairpersons/directors/University Librarian to Canadian Universities inviting qualified applicants from designated groups that the employer determines are under-represented in the unit(s) or sub-unit(s).

(c): The parties agree that the best available candidate should be hired, regardless of membership or non-membership in a designated group. However, where the qualifications of two candidates for appointment are demonstrably equal, and one of these candidates is a member of a designated group that is under-represented in the unit(s) or sub-unit(s) then, all else being equal, the candidate of the under-represented group should be offered the position.
