Higher Education Faculty & Staff

The dedicated faculty, staff, and graduate workers of Iowa's colleges help students pursue their passions.
Christopher Legel

ISEA supports higher education professionals by helping them advocate for safe working conditions, fair pay, academic freedom, and so much more. We help faculty and staff understand the challenges of today’s campuses and empower them to work together to solve problems and build power.

PROFESSIONAL PAY

Faculty, staff, and graduate assistants should be fairly compensated for their work. For decades, the pay earned by college and university workers has failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living. We’re working to fix that.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH 

We provide cutting-edge resources from ISEA and NEA experts—our staff, affiliates, and members—on the skills and topics educators need to join, stay in, and advance our profession.
