On-Demand Webinar: Rebuilding Higher Education in 2022: Insights from the Interfolio Faculty Survey

Interfolio partnered with Hanover Research to survey the top concerns of faculty nationwide. Leading faculty affairs professionals joined Interfolio CEO Andrew Rosen to talk about the trends and insights, including: 

  • How have faculty workloads changed in the last three years and where faculty would like to invest more time?
  • What are the perceived barriers to advancement and faculty’s confidence in their institutions’ process? 
  • What role does student success play in faculty career growth?
  • What are faculty perceptions about their institutions’ delivery on their diversity, equity, and inclusion promises?

As you and your teams continue to look ahead to the year, you need a new strategic vision for your institution. The pandemic and a sweeping social push for equity have redefined modern requirements and expectations for excellence. You are setting a new path and rebuilding the future of the university—of which faculty are at the center. 

Universities and colleagues looking to drive faculty impact for institutional success in 2022 will want you to have insights from this important conversation.

White Paper: Faculty Information and the Postmodern ERP

For higher education CIOs, empowering university leaders with technology that maximizes resources can pose great challenges—and represents a huge opportunity.

How can academic technology leaders transform college and university outcomes—nearly all of which stem from faculty work—with a cost-effective, integrated, and comprehensive platform that’s faculty-focused and proven to perform?

And how should your faculty information system fit into the increasingly recognized postmodern ERP model?

This free white paper demonstrates the significant impact that a future-looking CIO can make on academic enterprise resource planning by adopting the Interfolio Faculty Information System.

Why the postmodern ERP?

Moving beyond the traditional, transactional approach to separate information systems, the postmodern ERP model empowers the university to achieve the strategic goals that its leaders truly value, via:

  • Outcome-based orientation of the system
  • Impressive speed to adoption
  • Reduced deployment costs
  • Extensible integration across institutional data sets

Of the more than $5 billion spent on technology by higher education institutions, almost none goes directly to support the sector’s most central and valuable resource—the faculty.

Imagine then, a “faculty-first” approach to your faculty information system that revolutionizes your university’s ERP approach with:

  • “Light and lean” cloud-based implementation
  • Exceptionally user-friendly design for faculty, staff, and administration
  • Direct relevance to constituent success (actually benefiting both faculty and administrative users)

White Paper: Modern Data Management for Faculty Success

Faculty Activity Reporting Across the Scholar Lifecycle

For anyone in higher education seeking to better collect, manage, and use faculty activity data, this white paper gives you an in-depth starting point.

Various pressures may drive you to seek a better way to handle faculty data at your university—from online faculty evaluations (tenure, promotion, annual review), to accreditation, to powering scholar profiles, to showing impact, to grant funding.

This paper shows how faculty activity reporting is rightly understood as one component of a bigger platform focused on driving faculty success.

You’ll Learn:

  • What the core differences are between a faculty information system and a research information system
  • Why you should seek a year-round, integrations-heavy model of data input, rather than relying on one-time imports
  • How your FAR tool can most effectively support tenure, promotion, annual review, and other faculty evaluations
