UNLV Launches Faculty Information System to Reduce Administrative Burden, Unlock Time for Teaching and Research

Top research institution taps Interfolio to establish a unified faculty affairs system and streamline faculty promotion, tenure, and review process.

LAS VEGAS, NV – April 30, 2019 – The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), today announced the launch of an ambitious new initiative designed to bring critical academic processes and scholarly activity tracking into a central digital environment.

Through a partnership with Interfolio, UNLV faculty and administrators can now utilize the Interfolio platform, which includes a full suite of faculty-focused technology to support every stage in the faculty lifecycle, from hiring through tenure.

“As a public institution, it’s critical for us to demonstrate the major economic and social impact that we have on our community, and the best way to do that is to showcase the work of our faculty,” said Tondra De, director of faculty affairs at UNLV. “The Faculty Information System helps us better quantify and communicate the immense impact that our faculty have on their students, within their professional disciplines, and on our community and state.”

The Interfolio system streamlines common tasks that previously required multiple systems to complete, which lightens the administrative load on faculty and frees up valuable time for teaching, research, and service.

“UNLV is a large, diverse institution and its faculty are known across the country for their teaching and research expertise,” said Andrew Rosen, CEO of Interfolio. “We’re proud to partner with UNLV to provide their dedicated faculty with tools that not only give them more time for teaching and research, but also surface their work for the greater good of the university, community, and state.”

Webinar: How to Improve Efficiency in your University’s Review & Promotion Processes

May 29th, 2019 / 2:00 PM BST & IST / 3:00 CEST / 9:00 AM ET

How are you currently managing the review and promotion of academic staff at your institution?

Managing reviews of your academic staff through conventional systems built for businesses (or through a home-built system) can often be arduous and time-consuming in a higher education context, and can leave academics unclear about requirements for their own reviews.

Even more routine reviews of annual production and workload of an academic staff member, or attempting to locate a single central list of all formal promotion cases currently under way, can become an administrative headache.

More and more universities are going digital with review and promotion workflows.

In today’s universities worldwide, academic and human resources leaders increasingly recognize the need to move academic promotion and review workflows to an online platform that is configurable to their needs. It’s all but necessary for modern universities who wish to simplify the administrative work associated with these reviews, while also understanding their academic composition, and to assess aspects like equitability and representation from a birds-eye view.

Interfolio is the first technology company to successfully engage both academic and professional services staff around academic information.

In use at over 300 institutions worldwide, Interfolio modules for academic promotion, data, and hiring are eminently adaptable to suit different any institution’s requirements or workflows.

In this free webinar, you’ll learn:

Who is Interfolio? How do our products fit into the lifecycle of academic staff?
What are the advantages to moving processes around the academic lifecycle online? How have other institutions done it successfully?
What does the end result look like? We will provide a short demo of what review and promotion can look like at your institution.
