hiring committee chairs who have hired or attemptedto hire in the 2015-2016 academic year (henceforth AY 2015). The aim is threefold: first, toshow the dimensions of the hiring gap; second, to define instructional faculty responsibilities,conditions of employment, and qualifications at different levels of institution; and third, todiscuss concerns raised by those trying to hire instructional faculty. Given the lack of diversitywithin higher education computing, it is vital to consider demographics in hiring.Computer science and related fields, programs, and departments, which we refer to generally ascomputing, include: ● Computer science ● Information science ● Information systems ● Information technology ● Software engineering
