Southwest Region
Barbara Scofield, Associate Regional Director
The Southwest Region of the Teaching & Curriculum Section sponsored
three sessions with ten papers from seventeen authors at twelve universities at
the spring Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Accounting Association in
New Orleans. In addition, a panel on "The Implications of 150-Hour Laws on
Accounting Education" was held, and the plenary session by Dr. Joel S.
Demski spoke on "Frictions and Opportunities in Accounting
Education." A highlight of the business meeting was the presentation of
both the Teaching & Curriculum Section Award and the Prentice Hall
Outstanding Educator Award to Marilyn Young of Lipscomb University for her
paper "The Impact of the Hope Scholarship Credit on Tuition and Enrollment
of Postsecondary Educational Institutions."
The Southwest Region of the American Accounting Association meets annually
with Southwestern Federation of Administrative Disciplines, which has just
changed its name to Federation of Business Disciplines. With the change in name
is a change in meeting location to St. Louis, Missouri March 6-9, 2002.
Southwest Region Teaching & Curriculum Section invites the submission of
papers in education and will again identify an outstanding manuscript for
recognition.
Southeast Region
Laura R. Ingraham, Regional Director
As in the past, the Southeast Region's Teaching and Curriculum section
members submitted many high quality papers for this year's meeting in Tampa,
FL. For the first time, the section selected a paper to receive an
"outstanding manuscript" award. This year's award went to Professor
Julia Higgs (Florida Atlantic University) and Professor John Reisch (East
Carolina University) for "Testing NCAA compliance at Southeastern State
University: A case study." The $250 award will be shared by the two
authors. Congratulations to Julia and John for an outstanding manuscript! It is
not too early to begin thinking about next year's regional meeting. If you have
any suggestions for next year's regional meeting or would like to volunteer as
a paper reviewer, discussant, or panel member, please contact either of the
section's co-directors, Laura Ingraham or Greg Jenkins (both at North Carolina
State University).
