We talked with Arizona State University President Michael Crow.

The university has announced a new partnership called the Plus Alliance with two other institutions of higher learning — King’s College of London and the University of New South Wales in Australia. This partnership focuses on innovation and sustainability.

We also found out what Crow thinks about Governor Doug Ducey’s budget proposal that doesn’t provide much extra funding for the state’s public universities.
