Awesome news!
To me it seems like if youre going to build 4 year schools outside of the Valley that Prescott Valley and Yuma make more sense than Lake Havasu and Show Low. Because of those towns size I feel like more students would be willing to go spend 4 years there.
I wonder what they mean by NAU developing new the regional universities. I hope they wouldn't be "NAU-Prescott Valley" or "NAU-Yuma" but more their own thing like "Southern Arizona U" and "Prescott State U."
Also, if Yuma gets a school their mascot better be "The Fightin' Lettuce."
EDIT: VV No way- Yuma is the lettuce capital of the world or maybe just of America, I forget. If SCC can be the "Artichokes" they can be "The Fightin' Lettuce." I doubt theyd go for it, but Im always for silly sports teams names. I.E. one of my favorites is "The Montgomery Biscuits", look at this sweet logo:
