ABOR will be voting again in November on the first phase of the Sun Devil Stadium construction.
Regent Greg Patterson brought up the ASU Athletic Fee, and he said he thought the handling of the implementation of the fee was done well.
He said he had spoken to students and liked the handling of the marketing for the fee and the explanation of what students would receive through the fee.
Creating a meaningful financial aid assistance program was next on the agenda as the Board of Regents discussed the lack of state funding and how universities have been had to provide financial aid assistance internally to make up for a lack of state funding.
ASU President Michael Crow said it's time for the state to make a commitment at the student level so the students know that there is a fund waiting for them at the university.
