Michael Crow's Solve-for-X talk itself sounded more like a proposal than a report on work accomplished. He has been re-engineering ASU for a decade. Other than a reshuffling of the faculty units (from traditional departments to something else) does anyone know what has actually been accomplished? One of the responsibilities of ASU is education. What is the record of education that ASU has established since Crow took over? How have students who have gone through ASU in the past decade done after graduation compared to those who graduated prior to Crow? I looked on his web page but didn't see any links that would answer any of those questions.
One particular comment on his talk. He said that they "blew up" anthropology and other departments and put the faculty into the school of Sustainment. What do those faculty do there? Presumably one still needs anthropology expertise. (I'm asking about Anthropology because he seemed to focus on it.) Do some students still get trained to have expertise in Anthropology and others get trained to have expertise in biology? How does all that work, especially with no disciplinary organizations? *-- Russ * On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 5:12 PM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > Michael Crow talks about Arizona State University'
