A Turner College News & Notes entry from mid-October of last year reported that the AACSB research portfolio compiled through that date by Turner College business faculty was behind schedule when compared to the previous two successful reaccreditation efforts.

As the table below indicates, the Turner College business faculty now have a portfolio with 76 journal publications, seven more than reported in October of last year.
