New American University model

The New American University model is a concept proposed by Michael M. Crow, the 16th president of Arizona State University (ASU), in 2014. It primarily emphasizes expanding admitted class sizes and adapting teaching methods accordingly at universities.

The concept was first adopted by Arizona State University after being implemented in 2014 by the ASU Charter, and was introduced in Crow's 2015 book "Designing the New American University", in which the model was supported by former president Bill Clinton and former Florida governor Jeb Bush. The move is widely credited with boosting ASU's acceptance rate and increasing class size, making it become one of the largest public universities in the United States by enrollment. Inside Higher Ed criticized that the initiative increases the commercialization and corporatization of education, claiming that "Arizona State is indistinguishable from Amazon."
