Surveyed late last year in an online forum con- ducted by Readex Research, more than 250 BizEd readers gave the magazine high marks on content and appearance. Seventy percent of respondents agreed that the magazine provides a valuable service to the management education com- munity, and 87 percent ranked the overall attractiveness of the publication high. The magazines are closely read, as well. The majority of respondents noted that they spend nearly an hour looking through a typical issue, and they share their copies with an average of 1.9 other people. Favorite topics deal with key issues in the industry, from ethics and globalization to faculty salaries and the doctoral shortage. As part of the survey, BizEd awarded a $250 Visa gift card to one random respondent. The winner of the gift card was Karen A. Tarnoff, assistant professor and director of assessment at East Tennessee State University's College of Business and Technology in Johnson City. 10 BizEd MARCH/APRIL 2007 gow in the United Kingdom, the Institut Químic de Sarrià in Spain, the National Chengchi University in Taiwan, and the University of Tech- nology, Sydney, in Australia.

Those schools maintaining accreditation in business are Arizona State University, Fort Lewis College, Georgia Col- lege & State University, Gonzaga University, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Marshall University, North- ern Kentucky University, San Jose State University, the University of West Georgia, and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Maintaining their accreditation in business and accounting are the University of Arkansas, Grand Valley State University, Idaho State Univer- sity, and North Carolina A&T State University. The College of William and Mary has maintained its accredi- tation in accounting. Johns Hopkins Opens Business School William Polk Carey has donated $50 million through the W.P. Carey Foundation to establish the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The new school began operations in January and immediately initiated a search for a dean. The new Carey School will grant joint master's/ MBA degrees and add a five-year BA-BS/MBA option for liberal arts and engineering majors. The exist- ing W.P. Carey Program in Manage- ment and Entrepreneurship will now be offered under the auspices of the business school. The gift to Johns Hopkins marks Carey's second $50 million gift in support of business education. His 2003 donation to Arizona State University endowed the W.P. Carey School of Business in Arizona and in China. The new Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is named for James Carey of Loudon, an 18th- and 19th-century Baltimore shipper. "A key to economic health is quality management education, and this school will be able to gener- ate leaders for many important enterprises, be they in business, education, medicine, government or another field," says Carey.
