Arizona State University announced it will close its Lake Havasu campus and implement a tuition surcharge for on-campus students due to what the university said is $24 million of state cuts to higher education.
Lake Havasu’s closure next summer will impact approximately 225 students, ASU said.
The tuition surcharge starting spring 2025 will be about $350 for full-time students and a proportional amount for part-time students. ASU also said that a decrease in funding towards its Arizona Promise Scholarship Program and Arizona Teachers Academy will impact thousands of students.
In the state’s most recent budget, ASU’s funding from the state decreased by almost $11 million.
