Case Study: San Diego State University advances equitable faculty hiring with Interfolio

SDSU uses Interfolio Faculty Search and Review, Promotion & Tenure

San Diego State University (SDSU) turned to Interfolio to improve faculty hiring after years of using a paper-based system. The university wanted a clearer, more consistent experience for applicants, a more professional search process, and better support for its diversity and equity goals across a decentralized hiring structure.

Using Interfolio Faculty Search and Review, Promotion & Tenure, SDSU centralized search workflows, made job postings and search committee details visible in real time, and added compliant EEO self-identification forms and reporting tools to track applicant diversity. Interfolio helped reduce administrative burden, speed adoption with user-friendly support, and give SDSU better data for improving hiring practices and preparing for a more digital, accessible promotion and tenure process.
