Pros
There are some good pockets and people at ASU. Most people and students are well meaning and good hearted.
Cons
Too many students and too little pay. Pay is about $20,000 under market. Little to no support. Top down politics that don't care about contract faculty, including long term contact faculty. The problem with ASUs campaign to "scale" is it isn't providing the support or resources to scale. I teach classes of 150 students and don't have a TA or grader. The growth and rate of growth is unsustainable. I see it not just in academics but also in student services. ASU doesn’t have the infrastructure to support 144,000 students. Additionally, the ASU Online (EdPlus) funding model is unsustainable and only provides $80 per student to the colleges to cover costs, salaries etc... I have no idea where the remainder of the tuition goes since ASU refuses to be transparent, even after repeated requests.
