Value Hierarchy Computations 1. Personal Professional Attributes Experience .70 / .30 .20 / . . Education Courses # Articles Total Grants Taught Published Awarded The above decision tree (hierarchy) was constructed to help decide which, among several candidates, should be hired in a tenure track teaching position that will start next fall. The weights were decided upon by the faculty search committee. Note that the criteria under Personal Attributes are subjective and the rest can easily be quantied. To deal with this subjectivity, the committee has decided to rate the university at which the candidate got his or her doctorate as either a top, middle, or bottom tier school, which are given the rating 3, 2, or 1 respectively, with higher as better.
