Implementation of Interfolio at Sul Ross State University

This case study details the implementation of Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT) at Sul Ross State University, focusing on its impact on faculty processes and student retention. The document outlines how the university aimed to enhance faculty satisfaction and retention by reducing administrative burdens associated with promotion and tenure packet preparation. Prior to RPT, faculty spent considerable time compiling physical materials, which was both time-consuming and inefficient. The transition to a digital platform has streamlined these processes, allowing faculty to present their work more effectively, particularly in disciplines such as Fine Arts where unique materials are essential. The case study emphasizes the ease of use of the Interfolio platform, which enabled the university to implement the system within two months and create new templates for reviews quickly. Overall, the implementation of RPT has resulted in a more efficient review process, benefiting both faculty and administration while contributing to improved student retention.
