Following final approval of faculty tenure and promotions April 24 by the Iowa Board of Regents, the office of the senior vice president and provost shared promotions for 110 faculty members for the 2025-26 academic year. The list includes 60 tenured faculty and 50 term faculty.
Promotions among tenure-eligible faculty feature 25 women and 35 men and are nearly split between promotion with tenure (30 awards) and promotion for previously tenured faculty (29 awards). All seven colleges and the university library promoted faculty.
The university president gives the final approval to promotions for term faculty; this list isn't reviewed by the regents. More than 80% of the term faculty promotions are in the teaching track: 21 promotions to teaching professor and 20 to associate teaching professor. Term faculty from all seven colleges received promotions.
The faculty handbook currently recognizes five term faculty tracks: teaching, practice, clinical, research and adjunct. The affiliate track indicates a visiting role. Each has ranks of assistant, associate and full professor.
