Customer Reviews

Excellent Reference Book!!!

I highly recommend JoAnn Moody's book for all people involved in higher education faculty, staff and student recruitment. She has succintly identified all of the good and bad actions and thoughts of those who desire to recruit with a goal of increased diversity. Moody has provided concrete and explicit advice that will enable hiring officials to effectively recruit and increase the diversity of their institution's employees. Buy this book for all of your search committees!

Practical Advise You Can Actually Use

The author clearly knows what she is talking about. The true value of the book is its practicality. You can use the advice to create an environment in an academic department that supports the success of both minority faculty and minority students. The advice on recruiting and retention of minority faculty is simply unavailable anywhere else. I have personally purchased this book for my dean and the chairs of science departments at my college. It is very important for those hiring faculty to gain the knowledge that this book provides. It is important to note that the good practises she promotes would make the environment in academia better for everyone.
