The Case for Higher Education
Welcome to the Arizona State University Sun Devil Advocate network, a dynamic network of alumni, students, faculty, staff, retirees, parents and community partners committed to educating elected officials about the importance of Arizona State University and higher education.

As Sun Devil Advocates, we are deeply concerned about ASU’s future. Now more than ever, Arizona's political leaders and legislators need to hear from you. At a time when enrollment continues to increase at historic levels, the proposed massive budget cuts to higher education – which would be the largest budget reductions in Arizona’s history – could lead to large tuition increases, campus closings and unprecedented layoffs. ASU already has taken more than $37 million in state funding cuts and prepared for further reductions. These proposed budget cuts would require ASU to cut another $70 million this fiscal year, and an additional $155 million next fiscal year.

We want concerned citizens, voters and alumni who support ASU to advocate for intelligent, strategic support of higher education. That’s why you’ll want to add this Web site to your favorites and visit it often to see new information from and about the university, and more importantly, how you can help. You don't have to be a political junkie or guru to get involved and help the cause, just passionate about ASU and higher education. The network will give you the tools and resources you need to become an effective member of the Sun Devil Advocate Network and boost your advocacy efforts.

Sign up for the network today and start helping to make the case for Arizona State University and higher education.  Additionally, if you join the network you’ll have an opportunity to receive up-to-the minute updates on Sun Devil advocacy efforts and legislative developments through our e-mail listserv.
