Webinar: The University of Texas

September 21, 2016 / 2:00-3:00 PM EDT

In our September webinar, we’re pleased to shine a light on one of our campus partners, the University of Texas at Austin, and the work they’ve done integrating Interfolio Faculty Search platform into their technical ecosystem. The webinar includes a Q&A portion for other schools who might be curious about improving the flow of faculty data between campus technologies.

We speak with Henry Tijerina III, Web Developer with UT’s Office of the Executive Vice President & Provost. Henry is the mind behind UT’s public job board for faculty positions, an in-house development that automatically pulls information from Interfolio about open academic positions. Since 2014, UT has used Interfolio Faculty Search platform to manage their faculty recruitment process, from advertisement to hire. With Henry’s help, the university is becoming more and more effective at seamlessly and securely sharing information between UT’s in-house systems, Interfolio Faculty Search, and other 3rd-party technology.

Joining Henry is Interfolio’s Vice President for Product and Technology, Scott Varho. Scott oversees the teams that design and build our academic software, striving to ensure Interfolio brings out the right technology at the right time in the right way. Scott keeps a close eye on what problems need solving on our partner campuses, what other systems universities are using, and the best ways for different tools to cooperate.

Webinar: University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Achieving Faculty Search Diversity with Faculty Search

August 25, 2016 / 2:00-3:00 PM EDT

The University of Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC) is known nationally as a model for diversity in its student body, but in recent years it has worked to become a model for faculty diversity as well.

We hosted a presentation and Q&A session with Autumn Reed, Ph.D., Program Coordinator for Faculty Diversity Initiatives in the UMBC Provost’s Office, on practical methods to increase faculty diversity in the recruitment process. Since UMBC began conducting searches through Interfolio Faculty Search, Dr. Reed and her colleagues have gained continuous, reliable data on which to evaluate the university’s progress toward its formal faculty diversity commitments.

In addition to Dr. Reed’s presentation, this webinar includes a brief demonstration of Interfolio (under 10 minutes) and a Q&A session. You’ll find out:

How UMBC uses Interfolio Faculty Search to foster consistency in recruitment standards—including explicit review criteria, blind review, and more.
How Interfolio Faculty Search enables UMBC to collect Equal Employment Opportunity data on virtually 100% of faculty job applicants through the system.
How the UMBC Provost’s Office addresses under-diverse searches in real time by comparing data collected through Interfolio Faculty Search with national faculty diversity rates.

This webinar took place in August 2016.

Webinar: Adrianna Kezar

Policies and Practices for Supporting Non-Tenure Track Faculty

March 31, 2016 / 2:00-3:00 PM EST

What effect does increased adjunct hiring have on students, faculty, and your institution? What if there were solutions that helped to support non-tenure track faculty on campus and improve institutional outcomes?

As Co-Director of the Pullias Center for Higher Education, Adrianna Kezar is at the forefront of research on changing models of the professoriate. In this webinar, Dr. Kezar outlines the need for new models to replace the existing bifurcated system of tenure-/non-tenure track faculty—a system, she argues, that does not serve students, faculty, or the enterprise of higher education.

This webinar will cover:
– The impact of current hiring trends on student success and the future of the professoriate.
– Campus policies and practices that affect non-tenure track faculty.
– A path for change: strategies that receive buy-in from multiple stakeholder groups.

Adrianna Kezar is Professor of Higher Education at the Rossier School of Education and the Co-Director of the Pullias Center for Higher Education at USC. Her most recent publication, “The Professoriate Reconsidered,” ambitiously kicks off a new conversation about meaningful change in the current faculty model with a survey of faculty, administrators, board members, accreditors, and policy makers across institutional types.
