        The purpose of this article is to investigate the obstacles to obtaining the necessary points to promote the academic rank of women faculty members in the framework of the "Regulations for the promotion of the academic rank of faculty members." The research method is descriptive survey and the data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire with 30 items. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. This coefficient was obtained as 0.91 for the whole scale. The statistical sample includes  71 women faculty members of state universities. For this purpose, 6 main universities were selected and by collecting the email address of the target community, an online questionnaire was sent in Google Form and data was collected. Data analysis showed that female academics placed the challenges of obtaining "executive activities" points in the first rank and the "research activities" points in the second rank. The challenges of earning points in the "cultural" and "educational" duties of the faculty member are of third importance. On the other hand, the two variables "family issues" and "organizational issues" at the same level, prevent the necessary points from obtaining the necessary points of the four axes of the bylaw, and with a large distance from these two variables, there are "individual and personality" factors of women. In this article, it is concluded that women with real obstacles due to engaging in family roles and mainly cultural characteristics of the university organization in an unequal competition with men in order to obtain the necessary points provided in the promotion regulations.

In collecting the required data, two techniques of voice recording, note-taking and text writing were conducted from nine participants, by semi-structured interviews. The four-step approach of Georgy (1970) was used in the analysis. These four steps are: 1) data review, 2) writing a guide for coding, 3) organizing data, 4) classifying and coding data. Analysis and coding of interview text were done using MAXQDA10 software. The findings of the research showed that the characteristics of the nine elements of Klein's curriculum, considering the students' experiences, were as follows: the objectives element has at least two characteristics, the content element has three characteristics, the teaching methods element has three characteristics, and at least four characteristics for The element of learners' learning activities has six features for the element of grouping learners, four themes for the educational space element, the feature of the teaching time element around two themes, the feature of the materials and resources element in three themes and the feature of the evaluation element can be around five sub-themes.

Then interviews were conducted with each of the participants using a semi-structured interview. The collected qualitative data were then analyzed in the three stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. These categories and subcategories were then classified in 5 structural categories of the grounded theory, namely causal conditions (primary and secondary purposes), contextual factors (related to management and improvement), intervenient conditions (organizational obstacles, informational-motivational obstacles), strategies of action/ interaction (psychological safety, organizational conditions and requirements), and consequences (individual and organizational advantages).
