5.6.3 Relationship to questionnaire results
The results of this question present an understanding of who the WFD faculty are and where they come from. Both the interview guide responses and the WFD faculty questionnaire responses indicate that recruitment and selection processes within the colleges are mostly informal and targeted. Targeted means that either the vice president or his/her subordinates hand select individuals for instruction within the division and WFD faculty responded that they either approach the college unsolicited or through word of mouth by other, current faculty members. The emphasis of the questionnaire items related to this question were developed to create a robust understanding of how the faculty were recruited and what they indicated were the most important elements of their appointment in the college. WFD faculty indicated whether or not they were asked to supply academic transcripts, background checks, live interview presentations and other items. The questionnaire items relating to recruitment and selection were developed to solicit WFD satisfaction with the recruitment and selection process in which they participated and to determine whether or not the process was formal or informal.
