Presented by Jackie Gharapour Wernz, Legal Consultant, ERC Solutions, Dallas, TX

Educational institutions have a legal obligation to ensure hiring practices are free from unlawful bias. This session focuses on identifying risk factors within recruitment and selection processes and implementing structured safeguards that promote fair and consistent outcomes. Topics include conducting risk-based audits of hiring procedures, using objective selection criteria, improving recordkeeping and equipping hiring teams to recognize and mitigate bias. The result is a hiring system that is transparent, compliant and positioned to withstand scrutiny while strengthening organizational effectiveness.
