ASU continues to make meaningful progress in its evolution as a model for 21st century higher education, dedicated to access, excellence and impact. In keeping with the ambitious trajectory reflected in the ASU Strategic Enterprise Framework and the ASU Campus Master Plan, the projects proposed in this CIP focus on addressing the need for sustainable facilities that support the achievement of our institutional objectives. For this CIP, ASU has set as an FY 2018 priority a new, energy-efficient parking structure that will be located adjacent to the core of the Tempe campus and downtown Tempe. The multi-tiered structure will replace existing surface parking that will be displaced by planned new development on this site. This project is intended to provide students, faculty and staff with a high-quality facility that will enable their success and support the key elements of ASU’S Strategic Enterprise Framework, including: - Achieving a 57 percent increase in degree production - Establishing national standing in academic quality and the impact of colleges and schools in every field - Enhancing local impact and social embeddedness - Expanding research performance to $815 million in annual research expenditures by 2025 Details regarding this proposed project can be found in the Three-Year Capital Improvement Plan and the FY 2018 Project Description tab.

The program names included ambiguous terms not exclusively defined by ethnicity (Chicano, Mexican-American, Riqueno, Latino) but also defined by geography (southwest, borderlands, la frontera); subject matter (literature, history, education, culture, minority); geopolitics (Mexico-United States); race (La Rata); and specific personal name (Tomas Rivera Center). This finding led to the recommendation that each program be classified by its function as an academic and/or research center and that each program's output by academic or research function be measured, to help individuals determine how programs could meet their respective needs.(JDD) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made is from the original document. iC ********************************************************************** "Current Mexican-American and Chicano Studies UndergraduateCollege Programs in the United States" by James A.

Enrolling more than 64,000 undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional students on four campuses in metropolitan Phoenix, ASU maintains a tradition of academic excellence in core disciplines, and has become an important global center for innovative interdisciplinary teaching and research. Arizona State offers outstanding resources for study and research, including libraries and museums with important collections, studios and performing arts spaces for creative endeavor, and unsurpassed state-of-the-art scientific and technological laboratories and research facilities. ASU’s historic campus in Tempe, which serves more than 51,000 students, offers the feel of a college town in the midst of a dynamic metropolitan region. The West campus, in northwest Phoenix, and Polytechnic campus, in Mesa, which each serve more than 8,500 students, offer more specialized missions. The Downtown Phoenix campus opened in fall 2006 as part of a larger plan to revitalize the city’s urban core. Nestled in the heart of downtown Phoenix, the campus provides an academically rigorous university experience in a modern, urban atmosphere. The campus serves more than 6,500 students and is expected to ultimately grow to 15,000 by 2020. ASU is research-driven but focused on learning – the United States.
