Do we really need more competition between institutions of higher learning for student dollars spent on education?.
No campus life with commuter and online options?
Just "floating a balloon" from the usual redevelopment tool-box?
Shoot it down/ask questions Will this fly? ...
Please note, dear readers, this idea was announced with mucho mainstream media hyper-promotion as a fait accompli at Mayor John Giles State of The City speech back in January as part of his re-election campaign - not his usual "under-promise and over-deliver" mantra.
If this idea means so much to the president of ASU Michael Crow, why was he in London for an online course business signed agreement between ASU-Australia-England and not here in Mesa? It was a done deal, not an idea with no substance.
However, all the members of the Mesa City Council posed for a photo-op with ASU mascot "Sparky" here in the image to the right by photographer Ivan Martinez.
In a comment made by Mesa Economic Development director Bill Jabjiniak at the March meeting of the Economic Development Advisory Board, he states "it's just talk, nothing definite . . . "
RAILmesa will hold a forum with Mayor John Giles on Tuesday, April 12 at 6pm at Volstead Public House.
Questions are posed . . . readers might want to ask how this will get financed and what locations are getting targeting for the brick-and-mortar part of this?
Will it be re-use of existing real estate or new construction?
