Gonzalez's critics point out that in his 6 years at Iowa State, Gonzalez has received no grants other than a grant from the Discovery Institute which was for the purpose of writing his book, ''The Privileged Planet''.  Additionally, although he is published, most of the research discussed in his publications is from work done while he was a post-doctoral candidate prior to arriving at Iowa State.  And perhaps most important in the decision not to grant tenure, in the past six years Gonzalez has failed to graduate a single PhD candidate.
