Turner College's Jasmine Bordere Wins the 2025 CSU Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Award

Turner College associate professor of accounting Jasmine Bordere was a big winner at the 2025 CSU Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony, taking home the 2025 CSU Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Award. This award recognizes a faculty member's engagement in the systematic examination of issues about student learning and instructional conditions which promote the learning, building on previous scholarship. The criteria for selection include documented use of strategies for investigating and evaluating the impact of teaching practice on student learning, anchored in the research literature; engagement in scholarship that is public, peer reviewed and critiqued; the production of scholarly work which contributes new questions and knowledge about teaching and learning; the development of a well-articulated teaching philosophy that drives research questions; and documented dissemination of their scholarship results. Bordere's winning award portfolio includes a 2024 study in Education Sciences that uses student evaluation of teaching (SET) data for 947 faculty members affiliated with 90 U.S. colleges and universities to study the presence of a teaching quality rating premium for clinical faculty relative to traditional tenure-track faculty in the discipline of economics. Results from the study suggest that the clinical faculty SET premium ranges between 5.8% and 6.1%. Since joining the Turner College faculty, Bordere has developed an interest in servant leadership. Another element of her winning portfolio is her 2020 publication in the International Journal of Servant-Leadership demonstrating how the principles of servant leadership are conveyed in the motion picture Lone Survivor. That study explores the links between the core features of servant leadership and the central elements of Pashtunwali, a centuries-old unwritten Pashtun moral code that commits its followers (practitioners) to protect and provide asylum to any guest seeking the Afghan community’s assistance. In doing so it demonstrates how the leadership principles of both managerial concepts were personified through the choices and actions of Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan village leader who in 2005 saved the life of U.S. Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of an ill-fated U.S. military mission in northeastern Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Bordere's interest in servant leadership and participation in SoTL research has prepared her to be a faculty mentor for the undergraduate servant leadership program at the William B. Turner Center for Servant Leadership and help students better understand how leadership, and especially servant leadership, is practiced in academia. Lastly, Bordere's winning award portfolio also includes (1) a 2018 publication in Internal Auditing that explains why the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted a new lease accounting standard and how the new standard impacts financial statements, (2) a working paper that provides a case study to help prepare students for internships and careers in the audit profession by providing them with a realistic simulation of year-end substantive testing of accounts payable, (3) a working paper that ranks departments of accounting in the U.S. on the basis of teaching-focused accounting research, and (4) a book manuscript titled The Beauty Premium in Academe that synthesizes the academic research on the return to individual physical attractiveness and related attributes in higher education.

Turner Business Chats with Kevin Hurt about Leadership Research Program

Our 5 September 2025 profile of Turner College management professor Kevin Hurt has been a popular one here at Turner Business . That blog post focused mainly on the  portfolio of leadership research that he has  steadily built up over recent years into one that is unmatched in the Turner College. We recently visited with Hurt to discuss his research endeavors. The transcript of that visit appears below. TB: ‎ Turner Business recently profiled your growing list of research publications in leadership. What would be your assessment of how your research program in leadership has gone so far? KH:  Overall, it has been a rewarding journey. I appreciate that the Turner Business profile acknowledged my work, particularly in the area of servant leadership. While journal publications are a measure of success for us as faculty, to me that success also includes building the next generation of leaders. It was the latter that inspired me to leave a Fortune 500 corporation and seek...

Turner College Center Directors Team Up to Study Shirking Behavior in the U.S. House

There has been much recent public discourse concerning violent crime in metropolitan areas in the U.S. The most recent example is U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy U.S. National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to tamp down what his administration argues is a crime epidemic in the city. Citing reductions in Washington, D.C., crime since 2023, Democratic legislators have referred to Trump’s decision as political theater. Deciphering the political rhetoric can be difficult. On the one hand, the homicide rate (i.e., homicides per 100,000 population) in Washington, D.C., is, according to a recent report by Newsweek , about 2.5 times the U.S. national homicide rate. In this sense, it seems objectively true that Washington, D.C., is a dangerous city. On the other hand, if the Congressional district in which one resides includes either St. Louis or Baltimore, for example, where homicide rates are 4.1 and three times that in Washington, D.C., respectively, then the nation’s cap...
