The College of Engineering Recruiting Guidelines and Policies can be found here, but we want to highlight a few of these policies specifically for Career Fair Recruitment.
Inviting Candidates to Recruitment Dinner:When inviting student candidate(s) to dinner during recruiting visits to Auburn, please do so through an official email or through a printed invitation provided during the recruitment event. Please let the candidate(s) know the following information:
The Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations seeks to facilitate a positive experience for employers and students regarding job offers, providing an optimal amount of time for students to consider job opportunities as well as a reasonable guideline for employers when making a job offer.
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” - Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
Auburn University is responsible for the safety of its students, even while they are participating in an off-campus Co-op or internship. If a student reports to us a negative experience with a company, we are required to report the incident to Title IX Office at Auburn University. The Title IX Office will then follow up with the student and begin the process of further investigation.
The Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations reserves the right to suspend recruitment with a company until the investigation concludes. We may ask for documentation of the process the company took with the student once the complaint was made, as well as a list of steps the company will take to ensure the future safety of its student interns and Co-ops before recruitment reinstatement is issued.
Equal Employment OpportunitiesEmployment professionals will maintain equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance and follow affirmative action principles in recruiting activities in a manner that includes the following practices:

AU Co-op strives to host a recruitment process that is fair and equitable and supports informed and responsible decision-making by candidates. We ask you to allow three weeks from your interview date, up to March 24, for candidates to make a final decision. This lets students receive and evaluate offers without undue pressure.
"Experience shows the best employment decisions for both students and employers are those that are made without pressure and with the greatest amount of information and transparency. Students given sufficient time to attend career fairs, participate in on-campus interviews, and/or complete the interviewing in which they are currently engaged are more likely to make good long-term employment decisions and may be less likely to renege on job acceptances."
