The purpose of ASUN is to increase the number of American Indians/Alaskan Natives studying nursing at ASU and the number of nurses providing care to American Indians/Alaskan Natives. ASUN is not a separate nursing program but rather provides scholarship support to American Indian/Alaskan Native students studying nursing at ASU.
The Joint Legislative Committee on School Safety was originally established in 1994. Its charge was to review school district applications and select the applicants that were eligible to receive funding for participation in the School Safety Program. The Legislature prescribed the method by which school districts applied to the Committee and defined the purpose and content of the School Safety Program. In 1997, the School Safety Program and related legislation were repealed and replaced by the School Safety Program Oversight Committee, composed of the same membership. The School Safety Program Oversight Committee's charge remained the same as the JLCSS's mission.

The state government general fund shortfall in the current fiscal year is projected to be between about $550 million and $1 billion. This shortfall will need to be eliminated through spending cuts and/or revenue enhancements. The Legislature has demonstrated a preference for spending cuts. However demand does not decline during a recession for most public-sector services, including university services. Any reduction in funding for universities will have a negative and direct effect. A reduction in state government spending for universities of around $200 million would cause direct and indirect job losses of approximately 4,000. A substantial decrease in state government funding for universities will have negative consequences beyond these short-term effects.
