IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY
OFFICE OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION
Request for Search Waiver
Search Waivers are granted to allow a department to fill the position without using the normal search process. To
ensure that Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity concerns are properly addressed, search waivers are subjected
to heightened scrutiny and are granted under a limited number of circumstances. A typical scenario under which it
is appropriate to request a search waiver is when an exceptionally well-qualified candidate is identified during a
search who can fill an existing and documented departmental need, particularly when that applicant brings increased
diversity to the university and department. All requests are required to be sent to the Office of Equity and Inclusion
for review
