Board members describe standardized vetting and conflict-of-interest checks for committee nominees
Summary
Officials described a standardized process of resume screening, role-based shortlisting, identical interview questions and scoring; one candidate withdrew after checking for employer conflicts of interest.
Dr. Charles Britton told the board that the nominating subcommittee designed a process to match applicants to specific role buckets, reviewed resumes, conducted standardized interviews and scored candidates against the same questions. "We asked the same questions, scored the questions, deliberated, and made our decisions based on the quality of both the interviews ... and how well they fit the mold," he said.
Board members praised the transparency of the reviews. One board member noted a candidate withdrew after contacting their employer regarding a potential conflict of interest; the board said it had explicitly asked applicants to declare any such conflicts. A committee member also described eight interviews conducted in a single day and reiterated that the process included advance notice about project duration and potential employer conflicts.
