Arizona State University is preparing to lay off 200 or more faculty associates and dramatically boost some class sizes beginning this spring as it braces for more state budget cuts.
Some lecture-style classes could jump from about 300 to 1,000 students.
The cuts come as ASU officials anticipate $25 million or more in state budget cuts. That’s on top of the $30 million in cuts the university already has made. State revenues are down again this year because of a sluggish economy.
