Case Study: Wright State University streamlines faculty review processes with Watermark Faculty Success

Wright State University streamlines faculty reporting with Watermark in its first year

Wright State University, a public university in Ohio, faced challenges with inefficient faculty review, promotion, and tenure processes. These complex, paper-heavy workflows, complicated by collective bargaining agreements, created a significant administrative burden and a decentralized data repository. Seeking to streamline these operations, the university turned to vendor Watermark and its Faculty Success platform with the Review, Promotion, and Tenure module.

By implementing Watermark's solution, Wright State achieved more efficient data collection and a greatly reduced administrative workload. The results included streamlined promotion-and-tenure processes, enforced deadlines, and easy-to-access data that prevented faculty from missing submissions. The implementation gave faculty valuable time back, as information now only needs to be entered once for reuse in future reporting. Watermark provided a flexible system that supports the university's continued pursuit of operational excellence.
