The Hiring Priorities (HP) DTF wrapped up the first phase of their work in late spring and developed a prioritized list of 16 faculty positions (for the Olympia daytime curriculum) that the College should hire.   We will be recruiting for 10 lines in the upcoming academic year.

  1. Computer Science
  2. Comparative Religion
  3. Energy/Physics
  4. Biology (Anatomy and Physiology)
  5. Spanish Language and Literature
  6. Visual Arts 2D
  7. Business/Entrepreneurship
  8. EWS Math
  9. MPA (Tribal)
  10. MiT Science Ed (2 year visiting)

Of these, seven are in the Olympia daytime curriculum and come from the list the HP-DTF generated. The remaining three are lines for the graduate programs and EWS. The list recommended by the HP-DTF had Marine Science in position #6 however, a decision was made to postpone this hire until 2013-14 when both faculty with relevant subject expertise will be available for the hiring process.

Thanks to the members of the HP-DTF for all of their hard work. They put in long hours, sifting through qualitative and quantitative data and some anecdotal evidence. While there’s still a long way to go to make up for lost ground, we’re finally on a positive trajectory.
