Faculty listings are separate from staff listings. They are automatically updated weekly with content pulled from Watermark/Digital Measures. We do not actually update any faculty listings manually. We manage the import. Faculty are responsible for the content of their pages.
Occasionally we do add an image block as a placeholder for new faculty, but this usually only occurs during the summer. We get a list of new faculty members from Carolyn Davis, generate their hash number, and add the image. We do not build people blocks or people pages for them -- this is done through a Watermark/Digital Measures automation. The placeholder image block must be created in order for the automation to run.
