    5. Early in the search proceedings, the committee on administrative officers shall invite suggestions for criteria for the candidates for the position as well as nominations from the full faculty and shall in other ways be responsive to faculty opinion in formulating recommendations to be communicated by representatives.
    6. The chairperson of the search committee or his/her designee will be responsible for advertising the position in appropriate publications, for circulating announcements of the opening to whatever other groups may produce interested candidates, in particular groups concerned with fair employment practices, and in general for inviting submissions of candidacy.
    7. The appropriate administrative office shall be responsible for supplying the secretarial assistance and the office space and equipment needed by the search committee.
