Editorial: Budget mistakes made now will
haunt us later
The Arizona Republic 2/22/09
The future starts today. It may be a well-worn motivational
slogan, but it's also reality. The decisions Arizona makes
now, when times are tough, will have a profound impact
on our prospects as the economy revives. We must make
the right investments to keep the state competitive, vital
and current. No one, of course, has a crystal ball revealing
exactly where the big bucks and jobs will be in the decades
to come. (Who would have guessed, 20 years ago, the
crucial role of the Internet?) But we do know some
fundamentals: • A strong education system is essential.
• Science and research, both basic and applied, are key to
attracting new business and growing our own. • Arizona
must diversify its economy. • The state needs to use the
power of leverage to increase our resources and avoid
budget cuts that have a magnified impact. • We must build
on existing assets. We also know how investment pays off.

Universities: Spring breaks south of border to be
avoided
Associated Press/The Arizona Republic
2/23/09
Going to Mexico for spring break is practically a rite of pass-
age for college students in Arizona, but the state's three
public universities want to warn young revelers about
stepped-up violence south of the border. The University
of Arizona in Tucson has issued a travel advisory urging
students not to go to Mexico, and officials at Arizona State
University in Tempe and Northern Arizona University in
Flagstaff said they have similar plans to warn students.
The schools' spring breaks fall on the second or third
eeks of March.

Some programs restored at ASU West
The Arizona Republic 2/23/09
Taken aback by West Valley outrage, Arizona State
University officials tentatively restored some of the
master's programs that had been cut from the ASU
West campus to meet a drastic decline in the state
budget. Even the proposal to change the name of
the campus to New College - an idea that was
angrily mocked all over the West Valley - is now
up in the air. "I think the university is listening to its
constituents," said Elizabeth Langland, ASU vice
president and dean of the West campus. "The name
change still is under consideration." The about-face
was abrupt but low-key after a closed-door meeting
Tuesday in the office of state Sen. Linda Gray, R-
Phoenix. The legislator had called in university
officials, West Valley legislators, politicians and
business leaders to try and stem the region's
growing distress.

Some master's programs restored at ASU West
campus
The Arizona Republic 2/23/09 9:07 AM
Arizona State University officials have backpedaled
on cuts they made last week to some of the master's
programs at the West campus. A memo was sent
Wednesday to faculty and staff detailing the new
mission of the campus and noting that master's
programs would continue to be offered in a number
of areas. University officials had announced on Feb.
10 that "no graduate degree programs, including the
W.P. Carey (Business School) MBA, will be offered at
West." The restored lineup of master's degrees
includes the following: arts and sciences (MAIS), inter-
disciplinary studies, communication studies, education,
and pastoral ethics and care. Long-term plans for a
psychology master's degree appear to still be in the
works.

For west-side leaders, a Crow sighting is a harbinger
of bad news for ASU West
The Arizona Republic 2/23/09 9:07 AM
Tension between Arizona State University and the West
Valley date back nearly 50 years, but no one has man-
aged to draw as much venom from area leaders as ASU
President Michael Crow. He came to the Valley in 2002,
determined to remake the three-campus ASU system
into "one university with many campuses." As part of that
change, he gave ASU West a new name - Arizona State
University at the West Campus. By tinkering with ASU
West he hit a nerve that became exposed in the early
1960s, when the fight began to build a West Valley
campus. Residents and business leaders lobbied
hard and raised $100 million to found the campus at
43rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road. They finally
succeeded in 1984, when the Arizona Legislature
approved the college.

Doug MacEachern Viewpoint: Political sides
showing a reluctance to listen to reason
The Arizona Republic 2/22/09
We are learning the new partisan language of hard
times in Arizona. It is the language of phonies. Item:
"Government is bloated; the bureaucracy is bloated"
- Sen. Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert. Republicans
refuse to consider tax hikes, even if they are merely
suggested, via a statewide ballot measure, by their
Republican governor, Jan Brewer. They do, however,
accept half a billion in federal script to help fix their
2009 budget - payable mostly by someone else's
grandkids - and look forward to $1 billion or so
more in the coming fiscal year.

Lawmakers question budget-cutting tactics
Tucson Citizen/The Arizona Republic 2/22/09
Hundreds of state workers have lost their jobs and
hundreds more have been sent home without pay
to cope with the state budget deficit. Child Protective
Services workers are bracing for larger caseloads,
while parents with disabled children have been cut
off from services. Meal deliveries for shut-ins and
the elderly are dwindling. Budget cuts being carried
out this month have forced the immediate closure
of state parks and sparked talk of shutting down
university campuses. And that's just the beginning.
..... "Instead of making a smart cut, you make some-
thing that attracts the spotlight," he said. Gould said
lawmakers may need to have a more assertive voice
in what to cut and what to leave alone. For example,
he questioned why Arizona State University decided
to cut admissions in its nursing program at a time of
high demand for nurses.But admissions were
reduced only in the school's four-year nursing pro-
gram, ASU President Michael Crow said. The school
didn't reduce admissions to its two-year program,
and it saved costs by consolidating programs at the
downtown Phoenix campus. Sen. Pamela Gorman,
R-Anthem, added her belief that at least some of the
cuts were done more for public relations than out of
absolute necessity.

Deregulation can help fix education crisis
The Arizona Republic 2/21/09
All over the state, parents and students are rallying
against proposed budget cuts to Arizona's public
colleges and universities. Instead of focusing ire at
legislators, who are literally between a rock and a
hard place, there's another avenue these newly-
minted activists could pursue. For Arizonans
concerned about increasing access to post-
secondary education in our state, why not focus
on loosening up state regulations that are choking
higher education's private sector. Numerous laws
make it a crime to open a private post-secondary or
vocational school in Arizona without state approval.
These laws result in fewer schools and fewer
opportunities for both students and educators.
Legislators could embrace academic freedom by
deregulating private schooling and let the market
work

For many, a nurse practitioner is The doctor
The Arizona Republic 2/21/09
With physicians in short supply, highly trained nurses
fill void. Kathryn Kaiser doesn't think she actually has
seen her doctor, even though she went to his office
three times last year. When she made an appointment,
the Scottsdale resident was directed instead to a nurse
practitioner for an exam and prescription. ...Kaiser is
among an increasing number of patients who are
entrusting much of their routine health care to nurse
practitioners, who are registered nurses with advanced
training and expertise. During the past five years, the
number of nurse practitioners in the United States has
increased by nearly 40 percent, to 125,000, according
to estimates by the American Academy of Nurse
Practitioners. Arizona's rate of growth has been slower
in recent years, but since 2000, the number has
jumped by 46 percent, to 3,000 practitioners, which
is faster than population growth. The trend is being
driven in large part by a shortage of primary-care
doctors or general-practice physicians, medical
experts say.

Group touts aerospace for state's future
The Arizona Republic 2/21/09
A high-powered coalition of business, academic and
government leaders said Friday that Arizona's aero-
space industry - and its $3.8 billion annual payroll -
could fade away without serious attention. Or it could
lead the way to a stronger, more diverse economic
base in the state, if determined efforts are made to
expand the industry. Their proposal: a new initiative
called the Arizona Aerospace Institute. The institute
has no money, no staff, no building and no concrete
plan of action. What it does have is the backing of the
Arizona House speaker, Arizona State University, a
prominent development company, scientists, and
military and business leaders.

Judge won't immediately stop state govt. layoffs
Associated Press/East Valley Tribune
2/23/09 11:47 AM EST
PHOENIX -- A judge has refused to issue an
emergency order blocking state employee layoffs
being imposed because of big budget cuts. How-
ever, Judge Andrew Klein of the Maricopa County
Superior Court on Monday strongly suggested to
lawyers for the state that it needs to do a better
job of including explanations of employee rights
in future layoff notices. Klein scheduled a March
19 hearing on a request for a preliminary
injunction sought in a class-action lawsuit filed
last week by a labor union.

Editorial: Time will tell if Mesa can lift up aerospace
East Valley Tribune 2/21/09 6:09PM
It’s sounds like such a great idea, it’s difficult to
believe no one has thought it of before. Build a new
research institute dedicated to a poorly recognized
bedrock of the Arizona economy — the aerospace
industry. Locate it near a business anchor with
plenty of growth potential, some place like Phoenix
Mesa Gateway Airport, and near an existing enter-
prise that already emphasizes hands-on innovation
such as Arizona State University Polytechnic.
Convince industry leaders such as Boeing, Honeywell
and Raytheon to invest in a collaborative development
to keep pace with global competition for technology
upgrades. Watch as this facility attracts other aero-
space companies to the East Valley and fuels the
creation of new businesses based on its discoveries.
Become a national and international hub for research
in a field that is only gaining in importance.

Tom Patterson Commentary: Prepare yourselves:
More education cuts are coming
East Valley Tribune 221/09 5:40PM
An air of unreality hangs over the state Capitol. Legislators,
pundits and interest groups seem unable, or unwilling, to
acknowledge the size of the chasm in the budget that was
created when years of foolish overspending by the
Napolitano administration collided with declining revenues.
Mainstream news reports and commentary are focused
exclusively on the purported devastation caused by the
recently enacted revisions to the current year budget.
Education cuts endanger the future of the state! Don’t
balance the budget on the backs of the universities!
Arizonans need free health insurance now more than
ever! Waiting times for food stamps and drivers licenses
will increase!

State universities warn students about travel to
Mexico
Associated Press/Arizona Daily Sun
2/21/09
PHOENIX -- Going to Mexico for spring break is practically
a rite of passage for college students in Arizona, but the
state's three public universities want to warn young
revelers about stepped-up violence south of the border.
The University of Arizona in Tucson has issued a travel
advisory urging students not to go to Mexico, and officials
at Arizona State University in Tempe and Northern Arizona
University in Flagstaff said they have similar plans to warn
students. The schools' spring breaks fall on the second
or third weeks of March. In its notice to students, UA cited
a travel alert issued by the U.S. Department of State in
October warning travelers that crime rates have increased
sharply in Tijuana, Juarez, and Nogales -- all Mexican
cities that have experienced public shootouts during the
daytime in shopping centers and other public places.

He's a meteoric mentor
Arizona Daily Star 2/21/09
No matter how the Arizona Wildcats' season winds up,
no matter how their temporary coaching staff is ultimately
regarded, Mike Dunlap knows one thing for sure. He's
not coming back. "No," the UA associate head coach said.
"I can unequivocally say that's not going to happen." Not
because Dunlap doesn't like the UA. He said the university
has been "nothing but great to me." And not because he
isn't contributing: UA interim head coach Russ Pennell
says he has drawn heavily this season from Dunlap, who
won two national titles as a head coach at Division II Metro
State and served as a Denver Nuggets assistant. "He's
really done an outstanding job of not only helping this team,
but helping me," Pennell said. "I'll be indebted to him for
that."

Our Opinion: Downtown is happening
Tucson Citizen 2/23/09
The Tucson City Council has wisely changed the priority
of some downtown projects - a change that should mean
more money in the long term for Rio Nuevo. The move
was driven partially by the University of Arizona's decision
to delay construction of its Science Center/State Museum
complex because of budget cuts. Under the change,
bonds that were sold for the museums instead will be
used to build a streetcar line extending from University
Medical Center through downtown and west of Interstate
10. The line is a badly needed link to encourage people
to live downtown with an easy commute to the UA area.

UA professor: 'Are we all Martians?'
Tucson Citizen 2/23/09
Basic life forms that originated on other planets could
have migrated to Earth aboard meteorites, a University
of Arizona researcher said."I'm talking about microbes,
bacteria," said H. Jay Melosh, UA Regents' professor
of space sciences at the Lunar and Planetary Lab. "I'm
not talking about lizards or bunny rabbits. "It's not
outrageous that life developed on Mars and came to
Earth. It seems conditions on the surface of Mars were
such that life could survive or originate earlier than we
have evidence of a crust on Earth."

Space exploration award goes to UA's Phoenix
Mars Lander mission
Tucson Citizen 2/23/09
The mission may be over, but the University of Arizona-
led Phoenix Mars Lander team continues to make head-
lines winning awards for their discovery of frozen water
on the red planet. The Space Foundation announced
Monday that it is awarding its 2009 John L. "Jack"
Swigert Jr., Award for Space Exploration to NASA's
Phoenix Mars Lander team for one of the "most
startling and meaningful discoveries of the new
millennium." The NASA mission was headed by UA
senior research scientist Peter H. Smith and it was the
first time the space agency had a mission led by an
academic scientist. The award honors the memory of
Apollo 13 command module pilot Jack Swigert, who
successfully brought the 1970 manned lunar-landing
mission crew back to Earth in spite of an electrical
explosion that crippled the aircraft.

Regents to look at ASU proposal to cut AIMS awards
Tucson Citizen 2/23/09
Arizona State University has proposed suspending its
scholarship program for high school students who
pass the state AIMS test because of severe budget cuts.
The proposal would require the approval of state regents
and affect hundreds of students entering the university
next fall. Neither University of Arizona nor Northern
Arizona University officials have formally broached the
idea, but they will be watching with interest as a regents'
committee discusses the future of AIMS scholarships at
a mid-March meeting and the full regents' board takes
up the matter at its April meeting. "We're avidly awaiting
the outcome of any discussions," said John Nametz,
director of student financial aid and scholarships at the
UA. "For some time it's been a struggle for the universities,
all three of us, to fund these scholarships." Craig Fennell,
ASU's executive director of student financial assistance,
called the program an unfunded state mandate that can
no longer be sustained because of major cuts in
university funding by the state Legislature.

Our Opinion: Less notice on legislative bills
Tucson Citizen 2/21/09 3:01 p.m.
You'll have to stay on your toes to know what the
Legislature is doing. The state House has killed a
rule that required early notice for meetings in which
a legislative committee works out the final version
of a bill. The rule required meetings to be held after
noon unless notice of the meeting was posted the
day before. That was required in 2001 after law-
makers the year before rushed through a little-
studied subsidy for alternative-fuel vehicles that
turned out to be far more costly than had been
expected. But this week, majority Republicans
said that much notice is not required if lawmakers
pay attention.

NASA astronomy exhibit to be unveiled Saturday at
Biosphere 2
Tucson Citizen 2/20/09 5:35 p.m.
The curtains will rise Saturday at Biosphere 2 on
a new exhibit celebrating the International Year of
Astronomy 2009. This year marks 400 years of tele-
scope exploration. Galileo pioneered modern
astronomy in 1609. A program starts at 2 p.m. at
which University of Arizona Regents Professor
George Rieke of Steward Observatory and the
Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, UA College of
Science Dean Joaquin Ruiz and renowned astro-
photographer Adam Block will speak. The exhibit,
which will be on display for a year, will be unveiled
at 3 p.m. Biosphere 2 was among a select group
of institutions chosen by NASA for the exhibit.

House speaker: 'We have to cut back'
Yuma Sun 2/20/09 7:41 PM
Arizona House Speaker Kirk Adams said it's "back
to the future" for the state budget, and when it
comes to revenue, "2009 is 2006." Adams came to
Yuma Friday, and met with local business owners,
government officials and others as part of his
journey around the state to talk with Arizonans
about the state's ongoing budget crisis. He said
the state won't regain 2007 levels of revenue until
2012 or 2013. "Now, we have to unwind," Adams
said. "We have to cut back." What will help Arizona:
a diversified economy. Adams said diversifying the
economy would "position Arizona for dynamic
economic growth."

State cuts could spark legal fight with Science
Foundation Arizona
Phoenix Business Journal 2/20/09
Science Foundation Arizona has become one of many
squalls in the state’s budget hurricane. Budget battles
related to SFAZ and its government-funded partner
group, the 21st Century Fund, could spark a legal fight
over budget cuts and contracts the foundation has with
the state. SFAZ officials wouldn’t say whether they will
take the state to court, but CEO Bill Harris indicated the
group is considering its options. He did not rule out
legal action. SFAZ Chairman Don Budinger, a Phoenix
businessman and philanthropist, said he expects the
state to honor its November contract renewal with the
foundation. The 2-year-old Phoenix group administers
grant programs, attracts researchers, nurtures bio-
medical research and supports solar energy, mining
technologies, and math and science education state-
wide. It gets roughly half of its $50 million annual budget
from private donations and the other half from the state
government’s 21st Century Fund and other public-sector
sources.

State launches Arizona Aerospace Institute advisory
board
Phoenix Business Journal 2/20/09
Arizona is pulling together a board of big aerospace
names in an effort to bolster that industry’s presence in
the state. The Arizona Aerospace Institute advisory board
was launched this afternoon to help build the industry.
The institute will find a home at the former Mesa Proving
Grounds, under development by DMB Associates. “During
these historic economic times, it’s critical we leverage our
assets and be proactive about building Arizona’s economy,”
said Arizona House Speaker Kirk Adams, R-Mesa, who will
serve on the board. Arizona already has a large aerospace
industry, with 51,177 jobs and total wages of $3.8 billion a
year. The average industry wage is $67,065, far greater
than the average Arizona wage of $38,154.

This week in the Senate: Review components of
stimulus; DES hearing
azcapitoltimes.com 2/23/09
Last week Arizona lawmakers received an overview of
the $4 billion that Arizona is poised to receive from the
federal government, and this week the Senate will re-
view specific components of the economic recovery
package and the impact on the state. Committees
also will continue hearings into departmental
spending. ...On Feb. 26, the Senate Retirement and
Rural Development Committee will examine the federal
stimulus plan. That same day, the Senate Government
Institutions Committee will have a full plate. It will look
into the Maricopa County Community Colleges, Arizona
State University, Northern Arizona University and
University of Arizona. Also, the House and the Senate
Appropriations committees will review community
colleges. In addition, lawmakers will discuss the
School Facilities Board and the Department of
Economic Security, one of the biggest agencies
in the state.

U of A to offer 600 full-ride scholarships to low-
income students
azcapitoltimes.com 2/20/09
University of Arizona President Robert Shelton
announced Feb. 19 that the university has
partnered with Helios Education Foundation
to provide scholarships for students from
Arizona's low-income families earning
$42,000 or less annually. The university's
Arizona Assurance scholarship program
has received $2 million from the foundation.
The money will allow students to earn under-
graduate degrees, completely debt free.
"Arizona Assurance is making the dream of
a college education come true for hundreds
of students who may have considered
college beyond their financial reach,"
Shelton stated in a Feb. 19 press release.

Karen Nicodemus: President's Corner: Public
concern over higher education grows
Sierra Vista Herald/Review
2/15/09 3:17:45 am MST
Public Agenda and the National Center for Public
Policy and Higher Education Policy recently
released new opinion research focused on public
attitudes toward higher education. Both groups
have tracked public opinion since 1993. The
findings of the research reflect some of the
challenges for public policymakers, such as our
legislators and governors, who grapple with both
policymaking and funding, educators, taxpayers,
students and their families. “Squeeze Play: How
Parents and the Public Look at Higher Education
Today,” was conducted in early 2007 when the
economy was strong. The organizations
conducting it felt it was important to tap into public
opinion again, now that the country is struggling
with a recession. To probe the changes in attitudes,
pollsters repeated a series of questions from the
2007 study in a survey conducted in late December
2008.

Editorial: Not right time for forgiving of teacher loans
Yuma Sun 2/22/09 11:19 PM
Recruiting teachers to work in rural schools is an on-
going problem, so it is not surprising that some local
school administrators are interested in a school loan
forgiveness proposal made in the state Legislature
this year. The plan, offered by state Rep. David
Schapira of Tempe, would expand a current state pro-
gram that forgives student loans of math, science and
special education teachers who fulfill a commitment to
teach in Arizona schools. These positions are often
hard for schools to fill. But Schapira realized that many
rural schools, including those in Yuma County, have
difficulty filling all kinds of teaching positions. Many
educators don't want to go to rural areas.

ASU looks to cut scholarship program for H.S.

ASU men's lacrosse season over due to alleged
hazing
azfamily.com 2/22/09 5:30 PM MST
TEMPE – Arizona State University officials have put
an end to the school's men’s lacrosse season.
Lacrosse Magazine reports the suspension is the
result of a hazing incident a few weeks ago. It was
reportedly a party off campus where there was a lot
of underage drinking going on. 3TV reached out to
a number of people associated with the lacrosse
team but so far no one is commenting. The team's
coach is quoted in Lacrosse Magazine saying, “He
was stunned by the school's decision to suspend
his 34-man team.”

Editorial: Back to the future
ASU Web Devil 2/23/09
We’ve all been there. There’s an awkward pause
in class as your teacher fumbles around with the
projection screen, trying to get his PowerPoint
presentation to play. He presses the “on” button,
straining to see if the screen has gotten a
miniscule bit brighter. You almost feel bad for the
poor guy; he looks so lost and confused. Then,
that dweeby kid in the corner, with audible
exasperation, says the words you’re just begging
for somebody to say: “You have to plug it in. No, in
the wall. No, not there … Here, I’ll help you.” Call
us crazy, but in our experience, teachers don’t
always know best when it comes to technology.
But starting this summer, some K-12 teachers
will be able to learn how to use technology to
ramp up their students’ learning experiences,
thanks to a grant from the Arizona Board of
Regents. Departments at ASU and UA teamed
up on the project, which seeks to integrate
technologies like text messaging, podcasts,
streaming videos and collaborative software
into the school day.

Will Gov. Brewer help stimulate Arizona’s future
ASU Web Devil 2/23/09
.....With President Barack Obama’s work to alleviate
the stress on the national economy through his $787
billion stimulus package, Arizona’s government has
an opportunity to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately,
conservative leaders in the Arizona Legislature act
so partisan and seem so opposed to seeking new
revenue sources that many — including some of my
fellow columnists — have openly labeled them un-
reasonable. If the stimulus package depended on
the legislature’s conservative leadership, we might
not see any of the stimulus money.

Research could find malaria cure
ASU Web Devil 2/23/09
Gene research in humans and primates by two ASU
professors could lead to a better understanding of
diseases. Anne Stone, an associate professor in the
anthropology department, has collaborated with Brian
Verrelli, an assistant professor in the School of Life
Sciences, on the project. “I’m interested in adaptation
— ways we can look at how [chimpanzees] have
adapted and we haven’t,” Verrelli said. Although
Verrelli is mainly interested in the adaptation aspect
of the research, the main goal of the project is broader.
“[The focus of the research] is basically to look at
patterns of natural selection in our closest relatives
and how it compares to what we see in humans,”
Stone said.

UA may alter class standings
UA Daily Wildcat 2/23/09
The trek to graduation day could be even more adverse
for students, as university administrators may, starting
as early as this month, implement changes to the class
standing policy. Under the proposed policy, under-
graduates wishing to attain the next higher classification
will need to have completed a minimum of 30 units for
sophomore standing, 60 units for junior standing, and
90 units for senior standing. In the old class standing
policy, students needed to have the same numbers of
unit "in progress". The catch with the new policy is that
the units need to be "earned" by registration time.
According to the proposal to change class standing and
classification submitted last April by Jerry Hogle, interim
vice president for instruction, "there is evidence that full-
time students are more academically successful when
they take 15-18 units per semester than when they take
12-14 units."

High-paid officials: It's not just college presidents
USA TODAY 2/23/09
Presidents of a number of colleges vowed in November
to take a pay cut or otherwise give back part of their
earnings as a way to help buffer their schools against
the struggling economy. Now, an analysis of tax filings
of more than 4,000 other employees at 600 private
colleges shows that presidents' earnings are relatively
modest. For example, the head football coach at the
University of Southern California and a Columbia
University dermatologist each earned more than $4
million in 2007, making them the highest paid
employees at private colleges. The presidents, mean-
while, earned about $900,000 and $1.4 million,
respectively. The salaries of employees other than
presidents were released today by the Chronicle of
Higher Education, which has published a report on
presidents' compensation each fall for more than 15
years. It is expanding its scope to other employees,
it says, because their compensation "contributes to
the broader national discussion about appropriate
levels of pay for leaders in all sectors," including
higher education.

Many Specialists at Private Universities Earn More
Than Presidents
New York Times 2/22/09
While generous compensation packages for college
presidents have come under increasing public scrutiny,
other university employees often earn far more. In fact,
of the 88 private-college employees who made $1
million or more in the 2007 fiscal year, only 11 were
chief executives, according to The Chronicle of Higher
Education’s analysis of compensation packages of
more than 4,000 employees at nearly 600 private
colleges. The top two earners were a football coach
at the University of Southern California and a Columbia
University dermatology professor, each of whom
received more than $4 million.
