According to Beau Evans' recent report for State Affairs Georgia, lottery revenues for Georgia preschools and the HOPE Scholarship rebounded this past fiscal year after recent dips sparked some alarms over possible future shortfalls for key state-funded education programs. Ticket sales for the fiscal year that ended July 1 netted roughly $1.54 billion in proceeds for preschools and scholarships, topping last year’s collections by 5% and trailing only 2021 for the highest revenue haul since the lottery’s creation in 1992. This is good news for the Turner College, which has been suffering enrollment losses in recent semesters.
The second item in this blog is an update to the Turner College's AACSB accreditation efforts. The Turner College is now one month beyond 3.5 years into its current AACSB accreditation cycle. While previous cycles have spanned five years, the AACSB now utilizes a six-year accreditation cycle. The bottom row of the table below shows where the Turner College was at this point in its most recently completed AACSB accreditation process. Then, Turner College business faculty had produced 118 journal publications, with 35 of those appearing in A-rated journals. Of the remaining publications, 34 appeared in B-rated journals and 17 appeared in C-rated journals.
In terms of the current accreditation cycle, Turner College business faculty have thus far produced 81 journal publications. Of these, 20 appear in A-rated journals, 23 appear in B-rated journals and 11 appear in C-rated journals. Based on the pick-up rate of total publications, the faculty are on pace to produce 136 journal publications by the end of the accreditation cycle. The number for the prior accreditation cycle would have been 196 journal publications.
