Interfolio Resources for Committee Managers

Department chairs, school directors, deans and administrative staff who are responsible for completing internal requirements on a faculty candidate's promotion and/or tenure case.

Committee managers have the power to move a case either backward or forward after a committee has finished reviewing. In addition, committee managers have communication powers within the system; they can email both the candidate and committee members from within the system, record committee votes in the system, and add files to a case. In order to make a user a committee manager, an administrator must manually select them to serve this role.

Committee Manager Self-paced Training

This self-paced, interactive course covers management of review committees and cases, and reporting options using Interfolio RPT.

Committee Manager Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the committee form for a promotion and tenure candidate only show options for promotion and not tenure (or vice versa)? What if both promotion and tenure options are showing, but the candidate is only applying for promotion?

This usually happens if the incorrect case template was used when setting up the candidate’s case in Interfolio. Committee forms are tied to the case template, which determines whether the options for promotion, tenure, or both appear.

If you notice a mismatch, please check with your college case manager to confirm that the correct case template was applied. If it was not, the case manager can update the case forms to ensure the appropriate options are available for recording committee recommendations and vote tallies (whether for promotion, tenure, or both).
