Update on Guillermo Gonzalez’s Tenure Appeal at Iowa State University
In this installment of ID The Future, CSC’s Anika Smith provides an update on astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez’s tenure denial appeal. Iowa State University denied Gonzalez tenure earlier this year, a remarkable decision considering Gonzalez’s sterling academic record and ISU’s high rate of tenure application approvals in 2007. Gonzalez’s first appeal was rejected by ISU President Gregory Geoffroy on May 31st. On June 19th, Gonzalez notified the ISU President’s office that he would make another appeal, this time to the Board of Regents. As the appeal process plays out, stay updated at www.evolutionnews.org.
