GUIDANCE FROM THE TWU HR WEBSITE ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH PREFERENCES:

How does Veteran’s Preference affect the recruitment process at Texas Woman’s University?

If six or fewer applicants are chosen for an interview, a qualified veteran’s preference applicant from the pool must be interviewed. If more than six are interviewed, 20% of the number interviewed that are qualified veteran’s preference applicants must be interviewed. If there are no veteran’s preference applicants in the qualified applicant pool, this guideline does not apply.

How does Veteran’s Preference affect the hiring process at Texas Woman’s University?

The required preference does not compel Texas Woman’s University to appoint an individual who qualifies for a Veteran’s Employment Preference. Individuals who qualify for a Veteran’s Employment Preference are entitled to a preference in employment over other applicants for the same position who do not have a greater qualification. If a Veteran’s preference is granted, the veteran or surviving unmarried spouse/orphan would be required to produce required verifying documentation as proof of eligibility prior to an offer of employment.
