by Justin Pope the associated press Tempe Ariz like the state it serves Arizona state University is big bustling and relentlessly new if colleges were countries most would resemble the developed nations of the West stable work ing to improve but changing Only gradually and growing slowly if at All Arizona state would be China its campuses Are giant construction Sites new schools and programs Spring up nearly every week hundreds of faculty Are being hired thousands of dorm rooms Are being built there Are 280 undergraduate majors three separate schools of business 32 on Campus dining options and 601 student clubs Asu is a City in itself with 51000 students on the main Cam pus plus 10000 More at three branches around Phoenix it is Al ready among the country larg est traditional universities but unlike any current rivals for that title Asu plans to keep growing to about 90000 students Over the next decade that would make it easily the largest University of its kind in the country Michael Crow ass presi Dent Calls his school the new american University and sees it As the University of the future its a Model that takes on two challenges some see As conflict ing to be a great University and to be an enormous one with its doors open to a huge number of students with widely varying Abili ties Arizona Crow says needs Asu to be a great University with to tier researchers solving press ing local problems like water re source management but it also urgently needs to expand Access to fou year College degrees the states population is growing and diversifying with a Hal dozen new High schools opening each year but there Are just three Public universities to accommodate the growth four universities have 50000 students Arizona state University is among the country largest traditional universities the school plans to grow to about 90000 students in the next decade Arizona state University fall largest universities semester enrolment All campuses by enrolment 2006 100 thousand Ohio state University University of Florida 151520 Arizona state Tempe Campus University of Minnesota twin cities 150402 source the universities this is a University on the front line of dealing with a 300 million person America going to a 450 million person America Crow says schools in Mexico Europe and Asia have enrolled 100000 Stu dents or More but traditional american ones have topped out at around 50000 most have pre served a flagship Campus for the a strongest students and channelled growth elsewhere Crow Doest believe Quality has to suffer when a University Scales up to this size in higher de that what peo ple think is needed to create this very grand school for the Best and give everybody else generic campuses Crow says were like Why and so Asu is a place of extraordinary variety there is a growing roster of High profile faculty doing cutting Edge research working alongside instructors in More vocational programs like Golf course management theres an elite honors College for exceptional students but its set within the larger University that accepts 92 percent of its applicants some critics says its a fantasy to think a University can simply ignore the  Trade off Asu will very clearly get worse much worse not better so Long As they keep driving the enrolment says Geoffrey Clark an anthropology professor and 35year faculty Veteran he says the University is overcrowded and has sold it soul for corporate sponsorship Asu could have be come a distinguished Public re search University like Urcla he says instead Crow has turned it into Cal state
