  • In its Protocols for Faculty Hiring and for Search Committees, the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College specifies that CVs submitted by applicants for faculty positions should not include journal impact factors (JIFs).
  • In Guidelines for Interviews and Candidate Assessments, the School elaborates on creating conditions for fair evaluations of applicants. It includes sample legal and illegal questions to candidates, potential questions to ask related to cultural competence, detailed considerations of assessing candidates with disabilities and information about common rater biases.
