Yeah A few things, ASU seems to be doing a lot of work Downtown, at Polytech and Tempe of course but they have let west languish. I thought the plan was to mimic the UC system Crow??? What Gives?
But otherwise Maricopa Community Colleges and ABOR should be doing a lot more to upgrade their larger institutions (ahem mesa, Ahem Glendale Community College) into 4 year institutions or even 4 year universities.
I dont understand why ABOR refuses to create new Universities, the state has had the same big 3 for 100+ years. if they began the process of charting a new major 4 year university we'd have more than 8 million people in the state before it was finished, I dont know whats going on with it.
There are a couple of small schools that have gotten rolling, Central AZ college has new campuses in the SE valley, Ottawa has a campus in surprise with an actual football field, Arizona Christian university took over the old Thunderbird Campus those all have some progress
