Sharing Copies of the Dean’s Evaluation/Recommendation with Chair and DPC

Updated on

Introdcution

As part of the RTP Process, one of your responsibilities as Dean is to share copies of your Evaluation/Recommendation statement with both the Candidate’s Department Chair and DPC, who reviewed them earlier in the evaluation process.

This responsibility is important for transparency and to keep all levels of review informed of how each faculty member was assessed.

As with all actions performed in the Interfolio platform, make sure that you are signed in, have located and opened the case(s) in which you are planning to work.  

If you have questions about how to perform any of the actions listed above, please refer to the earlier articles on those subjects.

Currently there is no way within the Interfolio platform to perform this action simultaneously in multiple cases.  This process will need to be performed individually in every assigned case.

Process:

Click the ">" to expand the sections and see the screenshots

1. Stay on the “Case Materials” page, click the checkbox next to the Dean's evaluation
2. Click “Share”, then select “With Committee members”

Remember selecting "with candidate" will start the process for initiating the rebuttal period, which is separate from this process.

3. Remove the pre-populated name from the “To” field of the message

When you click "with committee members" in the previous step the Interfolio message interface will automatically pre-populate the "To" field.  

The pre-populated name(s) are the name(s) of the review committee members who currently have access to the case at this point in the workflow.

5. Select the correct "Committees"

If you have to send anything to more than one committee in the case's workflow you will have to repeat this step for every committee that you need to contact.

The Subject and Message fields are marked as required with a red asterisk (*).  Also the message is completely personal, input whatever you feel is necessary for your communication.

8. Click “send"

Do not enable "File Response" for this step, there is no need for it.  If the other review committees involved in this process have questions, they can contact you outside the Interfolio platform.
