Arizona Commerce Secretary Erika Smith mistakenly referred to Arizona State University (ASU) and Grand Canyon University (GCU) as community colleges in a recent phone call. The error occurred when she contacted the Admissions office of each institution, but for unknown reasons, her department’s information was outdated. ASU is actually one of the largest universities in the US, while GCU is also a large university with several campuses across Arizona.
