Term faculty promotions
Also this week, the provost's office posted promotions for 56 term faculty for the 2024-25 academic year. Term faculty promotions don't require the regents' approval; the university president gives the final approval.
The promotions span six colleges and include 25 cases of advancement to the professor level and 29 cases to the associate professor level. They include four of the five professional tracks in Iowa State's five-year-old term faculty system: teaching, clinical, practice and adjunct. The fifth is a research track.
Last year, 37 term faculty received promotions.
