The New American University model is a model created by Arizona State University (ASU) 16th President Michael M. Crow to change admissions and teaching methods at American universities in order to widen access to higher education.[1] It was first adopted by ASU 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.[2][3] Crow stated he first conceived of the idea after moving from his position as vice-provost at Columbia University to ASU because he believed that universities were no longer fulfilling their social obligations in passing on higher education through their own admissions to be more selective. The move is widely credited with boosting ASU's acceptance rate and increasing class size, helping it become one of the largest public universities in the United States by enrollment.
