What obligations do alumni have to their alma mater? For far too long, American universities have treated their alumni as walking check books, expecting endless giving and support for little in return. Alumni do have an obligation to support the schools that made them who they are today — but their obligation extends further: Sun Devils past, present, and future should also step up to defend the university’s flourishing. In some cases, this means applause. In others, it looks like criticism. In either case, such investment in the school is an act of love. Tough love, in some cases, but love nonetheless.
Arizona State University Alumni for Free Speech was founded on the rooftop of the Canopy Hotel right off University Drive in late 2024 with this in mind. Alumni ranging from the class of ‘85 to the class of ‘25 came together because we love ASU — and we recognize that to love means to will the good of the other; not to sit idly by until the fundraising department reaches out to see if we’ll toss them a few bucks.
We represent student interests, bringing a new voice to a conversation dominated by special interests.

"Late last year, a group of Arizona State University alumni gathered on the rooftop of the Canopy Hotel — high enough to see the headlights snake through the city of Tempe, but low enough to feel the pounding bass line of Mill Avenue’s nightlife."

"While it may seem noble for the university to take sides on any given political issue, we believe it’s in the best interests of students and the university for administrators to stay out of such political disputes."
