Minority faculty and SACS

and your school would be . . .?

AFAIK, there are no explicit SACS criteria related to recruitment of minority faculty members. There are federal regulations regarding EEOC/affirmative action, though, and SACS does require institutions to be in compliance with applicable federal regulations. (Which regs are applicable depends on whether the institution is public or private & whether it's concerned with Title IV eligibility.)

AFAIK, a candidate only qualifies as a minority candidate if they have "minority" status AND have U.S. citizenship. Is this correct?
