Deployment of Turner College Business Faculty Across UG Academic Programs ― A Look at the Numbers

This post takes a look at the deployment of business faculty in the Turner College across each of its undergraduate academic programs, which include accounting, finance, management, marketing and MIS. The table below lists the names of the tenured and tenure-track faculty who are servicing each of the five majors. As indicated in the table, three accounting faculty, Jasmine Bordere, Charles Boster and Fonda Carter, constitute the corps of instruction for that academic major. An October 2025 post here at Turner Business indicates that this discipline currently has 87 majors, meaning that there are 29.0 accounting majors in the Turner College for each accounting professor.
Next, the table points out that four faculty, Joshua Brooks, Brett Cotten, Gisung Moon and Uma Sridharan, serve the 113 finance majors in the Turner College. This means that there are 28.3 finance majors in the Turner College for each finance professor. With 11 management faculty, including Phil Bryant, John Finley, Kirk Heriot, Johnny Ho, Kevin Hurt, Mark James, Deborah Kidder, Laurence Marsh, Tom Ngo, Robin Snipes and Neal Thomson, each Turner College management professor serves 14.5 of the Turner College's 159 management majors. Based on the management faculty count, it would take allocating half of the Turner College's 282 general business majors solely to management to achieve a majors per faculty count, in this case of 27.3 students, mirroring those for accounting and finance. Next, the corps of instruction in marketing consists of Sungwoo Jung and Ed O'Donnell. Based on the Turner College's 112 marketing majors, Jung and O'Donnell each serve 56.0 marketing majors. Lastly, Insung Hwang, Yoon Lee and Jennifer Pitts constitute the Turner College's corps of instruction in MIS. That discipline is home to 70 Turner College students, meaning that each of these professors serves 23.3 MIS majors.

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...
