[Dcouncil] Hiring

[Denny Insley]

Good afternoon,

    I am writing to address an issue that came to my attention yesterday and falls within the realm of the D&I council.  As our roll is to address weaknesses in the areas of diversity and inclusion it is apparent that we are very weak in the area of including those with physical disabilities when it comes to hiring. Hall B has posted an opening for a physicist position and those posting the opening had some concerns about losing out on good candidates because of the labs hiring requirements.
    Our current application standards limits the pool of candidates because it requires applicants to posses physical abilities that are not always necessary to the position for which they are applying.
    I feel that we as a council should review the hiring standards and suggest that these restrictions be removed unless the position requires them.

Thank you,
Denny Insley
