I agree with all of your comments. So the bigger question is...Why is anybody out there even bringing this topic up if Arizona can't afford it? But I read this story on another website and it stated that if they were to do this that they would shut down ASU east and ASU west. Not sure how serious they were. KalshnicovdudE- nice to be back, new addition to the family got me workin all day and night, happy though. Yeah but remember what I said, if you go to college so you can make alot of money, then your missing the boat. It's all about making our society a better place.

Fminus: Good 1. He might go for it.

You can't even afford the universities you have right now and you want to add another? Idiots.

Charlie Dog--- I love your comments!! Right ON

Actually they should take ASU west away from control by ASUs president who has been butchering that campus and turn it into the individual school that they are planning.

cjsdsu: Maybe you should sign-up for a degree program at Acme University! 3,000 easy payments of $350,000. Such a deal! Go for it!

cjsdsu, I don't know about the others, but I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. kpaso619 is right, AZ cannot afford another state university right now.

Research and sports bring IN money. Does this guy have a clue? And what quality professors would he attract without research? DOES THIS GUY HAVE A CLUE?!

Cjsdsu,its good to have you back.I didnt see your posts for a while,and I was afraid you had become yet another victim of the rampant violent crime down there in the valley.The very idea of building and funding another college right now is crazy,if you look at the reasons behind this crackpots pipe dream,you will see without any doubt that education or opportunity has very little to do with it.Anyhow,what opportunity?Simple,uneducated folk like me,are competing for jobs at Burger King with Masters Degrees.With the current Obama administrations course,thats not going to "change" for quite some time.

no frills education. . . interesting
