UTK Workshop / Training requirements (changed as of AY2015-2016)
- Only the Search Committee Chair will be required to meet with an OED (Office of Equity and Diversity) representative unless the requirement is waived by OED.

Any searches approved after the meetings will require the department to work with OED to meet the requirement.
