Daniel S. Papp (born 1948) is an American scholar of international affairs and policy.[1] Papp served in a variety of professorial and administrative roles in the University System of Georgia (USG) (1973 - 2016).[1] From 2006 to 2016, Papp served as President of Kennesaw State University (KSU), the third-largest university in the State of Georgia.[2] During Papp's tenure, the University's enrollment increased by approximately seventy-five percent, growing from 19,854 to 33,252 undergraduate and graduate students.[2] Under Papp, the University also significantly increased its research and graduate profile, adding a number of new academic programs (including eleven (11) doctoral degrees) and becoming classified as a Doctoral University with Moderate Research Activity.[2][3] In Fall 2015, a University employee alleged the University's director of food services was engaged in fiscal misconduct, leading to an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and USG.[4] Investigations uncovered evidence the University's business office and external foundation were not consistently following USG financial procedures and mandatory reporting of financial misconduct policy.[5] Termination of several high-ranking University employees followed.[6] The investigation also contended the University's external foundation prematurely disbursed approximately $577,000 Papp earned in deferred compensation.[7] While there was no evidence Papp approved or was aware of improprieties, on May 10, 2016, Papp announced his retirement.[8][9] [10]
