Edit requests for September 2024

I’m an employee of ASU, and have a few requests to help update the article. I consulted with User:BruceMyBoy1212 at WhiteHatWiki, a paid consulting company, for guidance. Since I have a conflict of interest as an employee who falls under WP:PAID, I’m listing the suggested changes below for a volunteer Wikipedia editor to review and implement. Thank you.

1. In the STUDENT section of the infobox, please update the student enrollment numbers to the following:

| students = 57,144, Tempe
10,608, Downtown Phoenix
6,036, Polytechnic
4,904, West
62,062, Digital Immersion | undergrad = 114,484 | postgrad = 31,171 | faculty = 5,300

Why: The current numbers are outdated; the numbers I’ve provided are as of August 2024.

2. In the infobox, please update the OTHER CAMPUSES to the following:

| free_label1 = Other campuses

| free1 =

• Lake Havasu City
• Mesa
• Yuma
• Tucson
• Los Angeles, California
• Washington, D.C.
• Hawaii

Why: Updates to current campuses. Removes Glendale, Scottsdale, Show Low, and Shanghai campuses and adds Hawaii.

3. I have an update for the last paragraph of the article’s lead that begins “As of January 2022, ASU reported that its faculty of more than 5,000 scholars”. Please request that paragraph with the following:

As of February 2024, ASU reported that its faculty of more than 5,000 scholars included 5 Nobel laureates, 11 MacArthur Fellows, 10 Pulitzer Prize winners, 11 National Academy of Engineering members, 26 National Academy of Sciences members, 28 American Academy of Arts and Sciences members, 41 Guggenheim fellows, 163 National Endowment for the Humanities fellows, and 289 Fulbright Program American Scholars.

Why: The numbers currently are from 2022, so I updated the paragraph to reflect updated numbers as of August 2024.

4. In the CAMPUSES AND LOCATIONS section, please replace the first sentence of the first paragraph, which begins “Academic programs are spread across four distinct campuses…” with the following:

ASU has four campuses and four regional learning centers throughout Arizona, and campuses located in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Hawaii.

Why: I’ve updated the sentence to include all of ASU’s campuses in Arizona and the United States, rewrote the sentence to be more neutral in tone and added secondary sources.

Thank you for taking the time to review these requests. Parker480 (talk) 21:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC) Parker480 (talk) 21:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Arizona State University → Arizona State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 13:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:01, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 said. I see no reason why we need to make the title more ambiguous, since the proposed title is literally also the name of a state. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Edit requests for February 2025

I’m an employee of ASU, and have a few requests to help update the article. I consulted with User:BruceMyBoy1212 at WhiteHatWiki, a consulting company, for guidance. Since I have a conflict of interest as an employee, I’m listing the suggested changes below for a volunteer Wikipedia editor to review. Thank you.

1. In the BUDGET section of the infobox, please update the information to the following:

| budget = $7.9 billion (2025)

Why: The current numbers are outdated; the numbers I’ve provided are as of January 2025.

2. In the infobox, please update the FACULTY and TOTAL STAFF to the following:

| faculty = 5,400 | total_staff = More than 18,500

Why: Updates the number of faculty from 5,300 to 5,400, according to the source. I also updated the estimated staff from “about” to “more than”, and updated the citation access date.

3. I have an update for the article’s lead regarding the enrollment numbers. Can an editor please update the 2nd sentence in the 2nd paragraph of the lead from:

ASU has nearly 145,000 students attending classes, with more than 62,000 students attending online, and 112,000 undergraduates and nearly 30,000 postgraduates across its five campuses and four regional learning centers throughout Arizona.

TO:

ASU has over 183,000 students attending classes, with more than 74,000 students attending online, and 142,000 undergraduates and over 41,000 postgraduates across its four campuses and four regional learning centers throughout Arizona.

Why: The enrollment numbers are outdated, reflecting information from 2018. ASU also has only four campuses, not five.I updated the paragraph to reflect the most recent numbers, with supporting citations, as of January 2025.

4. In the article lead, can an editor please update it from:

ASU offers 350 degree options from its 17 colleges and more than 170 cross-discipline centers and institutes for undergraduates students, as well as more than 400 graduate degree and certificate programs.

TO:

ASU offers more than 400 undergraduate degrees from its 16 colleges and over 170 cross-discipline centers and institutes for students. It also offers more than 450 graduate degrees and certificate programs.

Why: I’ve updated the number of majors, and graduate degrees and certificates, and slightly rewrote the sentence for concision and to reflect the sourcing provided.

5. In the “Organization and Administration (ASU school/college founding)” section, can you please update the names of the following schools from this:

| Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College ||

1954

| College of Nursing and Health Innovation ||

1957

To this:

| Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation ||

1954

| Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation ||

1957

Why: The Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College name was changed to Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning in January 2025.[1] The College of Nursing and Health Innovation’s name was changed to “Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation” in 2019.[2]
