PHOENIX — For the third year in a row, Arizona State University has been placed atop a list of the nation’s most innovative schools released this week.
U.S. News and World Report said the rankings were based on a survey of college presidents, provosts and admissions deans. Those leaders were asked to determine the school making the most innovative changes in terms of curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology or facilities.
“Our colleagues at colleges and universities around the country are very interested in what we’re doing, and they pay close attention to all that we have been able to achieve,” ASU President Michael M. Crow told ASU News after the rankings were announced.
“They know that all the cool stuff is going on at ASU.”
The other schools in the top five of the innovation list were Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia State University and Carnegie Mellon University.
ASU has topped the list since it was introduced in 2015.
However, as in past years, a high ranking on the innovation side of things does not equal a stellar overall rating.
ASU came in tied for 115th place in the overall rankings. It tied with Iowa State University, Temple University, the University of Kansas and the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.
There was one bright spot on the overall list for Sun Devils, however: Rival school the University of Arizona came in at No. 124.
Northern Arizona University was not ranked.

Sounds good, but it is not like that anymore. It is a farm and technology has seperated your professor from the students. The 100 and 200 level courses have little interaction with the professor. Advisors are overloaded. The 300 level and up classes are generally smaller, because half of all freshmen drop out. You get more interactions with professors but usually get their teaching assistant.
Of course this is if you go to a live class. A growing percentage of classes are online or even prerecorded. Only when I got to my 400 and 500 level classes did the class size shrink to 20 or less. At which point some professors had scheduled meetings with students and/or groups to check in on projects. This was my experience from 8 years ago... a lot has changed since then, not sure if what I experienced is applicable to 2017.
It's kind of a dead on correct argument. Would she trundle herself up if her male dominated, female oppressing society didn't mandate it? And the comparison to what Blacks had to endure is also dead on, as the argument for their treatment was the same as you gave. That Blacks preferred to be segregated, which was a lie. So spare us the snotty "dignify your comment."
sure wish their football team was innovated
