Arizona State University is inviting the community to a ceremony and conference to launch a new school within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to develop "cutting edge transborder knowledge" for and with residents of the U.S. Southwest and northern Mexico region.
ASU President Michael Crow will be among the speakers at a launch ceremony for the School of Transborder Studies at 11 a.m. May 11 in the Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway. A keynote address by Jorge Durand, professor of anthropology at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, is planned for noon.
From 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Azteca America television network will sponsor a conference, "A Public Conversation Beyond the Present: Thinking the Futures of Economy, Migration and Citizenship into the 21st Century."
The launch ceremony and conference are free and open to the public, though registration is requested since seating is limited. Registration and more information: http://sts.asu.edu or (480) 965-9051.

All Crow has done is raise tuition, not the value of the education. Time for this over-inflated ego to leave.

Crow is no Coor. Remind me again, what has Crow done since becoming president of ASU? Sun Angels and the money people do not like him as much as they did when he first took office...kind of like Obama.

Because Crow would allow a stupid class like this to be in his university. It, with all the illegal immigrants in this state, should be shipped back to mexico forever.

ASU is number three in this month's Playboy party school rankings. But I am not sure how this translates to President Crow. Also, this new school and proceeding conference is not his attempt to be in the spotlight. He was invited to speak and like a good president should, is participating in a university academic function. It is possible to be both a fun party school and have an excellent curriculum. Other schools mentioned in the Playboy ranking where Yale and the University of California Davis; more universities with excellent academic credentials.

What a stupid course. Ridiculous classes like this give ASU a bad name and Crow should know better.

Crow loves to be in the newspaper doesn't he? Crow and his overblown ego. ASU is a top party school, that's what ASU is known for, not it's academics. Parties, Mike Crow, that's what goes on at ASU. Parties, on and off campus. Big beer guzzling parties.
