Would this work for you ? 
 
1) configure a workflow with a submit step open to librarians and faculty 
followed by an edit step that is open to librarians as well 

2) write a curation task that goes over the workflow items sitting in the edit 
step and adds a Taskitem for the relevant faculty author/s for each such 
workflow item
you need to come up with a plan for determining the right EPerson for each 
author;  you’d have to either ask submitters to enter account info or come up 
with a way that you match author names to accounts
you can trigger the curation task from a cronjob 

You can use the WorkflowManager.createTasks method to create tasks 

Just a rough idea
