In accordance with Southeastern’s hiring procedures, every member on the search committee
and anyone who will participate in any part of the interviewing process must complete
the Legal Aspects of Hiring online Blackboard course before they can participate in
any of the interviews.

The purpose of this course is to inform the Department Head, Search Chairperson and
the Committee about the laws and the EEO aspects of recruiting. Once enrolled, this
course can be completed on any internet capable computer. It is best to have this
meeting as early in the search process as possible so that you have this information
when you begin your selection process.
