Abstract

Hiring talented faculty is key to student success. A crucial step in hiring faculty during the campus visits is to give both faculty and candidates to meet. To achieve this, hiring departments prepare a schedule for one-to-one meetings. Furthermore, there are meetings over lunch and dinner. We propose a model to schedule faculty for lunch and dinner. Throughout a case study, we investigate the impact of several constraints. The problem is implemented in MS Excel®, which is straightforward and can be used by search and screen committees. Furthermore, it can be embedded in the teaching materials of a Prescriptive Analytics course to discuss how a model is gradually developed.
