Short ad examples

1. In order to alleviate high print advertising costs, units may use shortened announcements that refer applicants to a Website for more information.

2. The unit must be able to ensure that the announcement will generate a sufficient pool of diverse applicants. Both the “short ad” and the complete announcement must be reviewed by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Access.

3. Required elements for the short ad:

  • rank and/or title;
  • closing date;
  • Background check statement
  • link to full position announcement;
  • statement of campus Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy;
  • reference to Inclusive Illinois.

Acceptable uses of the required statement for short print ads include:

(1) The U of I is an EEO Employer/Vet/Disabled

(2) Illinois is an EEO Employer/Vet/Disabled

(3) The University is an EEO Employer/Vet/Disabled

In order to comply with Dept of Labor regulations, short ads for discipline journals/sources should contain information on the duties and qualifications, so in some cases additional information may be needed- for example languages that are required.
