Provost Shannon Campbell Speaks to Turner College Business Faculty

New CSU Provost Shannon Campbell spoke to Turner College business faculty yesterday about her vision for the future and the new budget model being implemented by the University System of Georgia (USG). She explained that she was a first-generation college student and that experience drew her to CSU, where, since coming onboard in January, she has "hit the ground listening and learning." Campbell also noted that her view of CSU is as a "communiversity" that engages with the local community on a college-by-college basis, depending upon each college's interests. This approach is also described as "transdisciplinary" in that it involves nonacademic stakeholders in the process of knowledge creation. Campbell also informed business faculty that the USG will begin using student credit hour production (SCH) at the institution level to determine institutions' budgets during the 2026-27 academic year. This would be a challenge for CSU faculty, which she noted ranks at the bottom of its group. According to the USG data provided below, Campbell's remarks must have been pointed toward the growth in CSU's SCH production from Spring 2024 to Spring 2025, which at only 1.1% is much less than that at Fort Valley State University, which leads all State Universities at 8.7% SCH growth.  
 
     A deeper dive, as shown below, indicates that the group of CSU disciplines that includes business actually experienced a reduction in SCH from Spring 2024 to Spring 2025, falling from 27,635 to 27,321, or by 314, representing −1.1% growth. On the other hand, the group of disciplines including computer science, the Turner College's other area, saw its SCH count grow by 540, or by almost 2%, over this same time frame. The data used for these comparisons are provided below.
