There are few things more powerful than having the president of one of the nation’s largest universities and the state’s governor on your side. Well, at least conventional wisdom would say that.
He has been recently defined as an inspiration. After an undefeated senior season, a national title and becoming the talk of the wrestling world, Anthony Robles has every right to brag. He worked for his awards; nothing was handed to him.
While we were off enjoying spring break, the University released its tuition proposal for next fall. Unfortunately, the results are not pretty.
Bravo to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen for coming to speak at the Downtown campus on Thursday. Mullen came to ASU to hear the concerns of veterans and how he can ease their transition back into society. Attendees heard the admiral speak and answer questions from veterans, students and faculty. Mullen spoke about the importance of supporting our veterans and the value of remembering what these selfless men and women give up to serve our country. Next time you see someone on campus wearing a uniform, make sure to thank them for their service.
When students move out of state for college, they have to choose whether they wish to stay registered to vote at home or switch to where they will be going to school.
State legislators are once again sparring over how much the state university system can live without. Early projections have this number at $170 million, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the state decided to lop off even more than that.
Every once in a while, a solution seems so simple that we wonder why we didn’t think of it sooner (and sometimes we did).
Three seniors, the first recruiting class of the Herb Sendek era, walked off the Wells Fargo Arena court on Saturday not as winners this season, but as arguably the greatest winners in the history of ASU men’s basketball. Ty Abbott, Jamelle McMillan and Rihards Kuksiks finished their college careers with 80 total victories, more than any other group of ASU basketball players.
Bravo to autism awareness activist Temple Grandin. A former ASU student, Grandin is now a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Speaking before a packed house on the Tempe campus Tuesday, Grandin talked about animals, her experience living with autism and sensory-based thinking. As a visual thinker, Grandin said she sees things differently from other people, which helps her work more effectively with animals. It is inspiring to see someone overcoming the odds and succeeding like Grandin has done.
Remember hearing all the terrible news about Phoenix being the kidnapping capital of America?
Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce is at it again, disregarding the Constitution and citizens’ rights.
Religion in politics is an awkward topic — the traditional elephant in the room. Unfortunately there are stereotypes that go with it. Traditionally, those who most mix the two are conservative Republicans advocating low taxes, pro-life, less government services and more defense spending. Liberals tend to hold the opposite view and don’t use religion to propagate their viewpoint.
Tunisia. Egypt. Libya. These three countries all had revolutions in the past two months. The dominoes of revolution have fallen, but our government wasn’t even aware the game was being played.
Bravo to the Colleges@ASU program moving forward. The program is designed to offer low-cost educational opportunities so more Arizonans can attend college. The first campus will be in Lake Havasu City and could open as early as fall 2012. Lake Havasu City has donated the campus of a middle school that has since shut down. It’s nice to see that even as Arizona comes upon fire-and-brimstone circumstances, the University is still trying to provide postsecondary education at a somewhat reasonable cost. Tuition for the initial year has the potential to be set around $6,000, which is just slightly more than current Pell Grant levels. It has come time to address the state’s education problem and this is a great first step.
Thankfully, gay rights advocates have had several major victories lately.
No sleep, crowded libraries, empty coffee cups and untold numbers of students on Facebook at all hours of the night. Welcome — yes, already — to midterms, where the stress is high and need for achievement even higher.
It’s not often that we write about how much respect we have for our friends down south at UA. But in a gesture fitting for the day’s news, we’re going to break tradition.
The University has dismantled programs, forced faculty to take furloughs, raised tuition an inordinate amount and laid-off employees — all over the course of two years.
Bravo to LGBTQ activist Dan Savage. The founder of the “It Gets Better Project” came to the Tempe campus to speak with students about his efforts to help LGBTQ youth feel more comfortable in their own skin. The project started as a way to convince gay high school students that the harassment they face now won’t last and that life will, in fact, get better as they get older. But we shouldn’t wait for a few years to pass to start accepting people regardless of their sexuality — we should start today. “If everyone were just nicer to each other, everyone would feel included and wanted. It’s so easy to do — you don’t have to go out of your way to be nice to people,” Garrett Lewis, co-president of ASU’s LGBTQ Coalition, said.
As Arizonans, we spend a lot of time lamenting the condition of our state and hoping some bit of good news will come from our Legislature. But yesterday afternoon came with another baffling measure making its way to Gov. Jan Brewer’s desk to be signed into law.
