Arizona State University has developed a new model for the American research university, creating an institution committed to excellence, access and impact — the New American University. ASU’s charter, adopted in 2014, is the blueprint of that transformation:
ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves.

⭐ Diversity and inclusion
When you look around the ASU community, you see faces from around the world. We value and welcome students no matter their ethnicity, the religion they practice (or don’t practice), the language their family speaks, who they love or the type of clothes they wear. With students from all 50 states and more than 135 countries, ASU is a community that values, appreciates and accepts others.
