I studied CS at ASU from 2005-2010, and my mom was a dean there, so I got view into the university as both a student and second hand through her experience as an administrator.
One thing I liked about going there is that it was easy for me to get exposure as a programmer by working for researchers at its public/private research ventures. The professors weren’t world famous but they were solid and always seemed to have some paid extracurricular coding for me to do for one of their research projects.
On the administration side, I agree with this article that Crow’s vision has been basically validated. Despite its increasing size, ASU’s academic stature via research output and reputation among academics has continued to improve in the last 15 years. For example, ASU was just added to the prestigious Association of American Universities.
Watching ASU transform over the years as Crow realized his vision has been very cool.
