Sally Frost Mason, former dean of Kansas University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is expected to be named the University of Iowa’s new president, the Des Moines Register reported Wednesday.

Sources close to the university said the Iowa Board of Regents would vote on and announce Mason’s selection today.

Mason, 57, made a $321,900 salary as Purdue University provost, a job she has held since 2001. She left KU that year after 21 years as an administrator and biology professor.
