亚利桑那州州长凯蒂·霍布斯（Katie Hobbs）9月29日宣布，州政府将动用《美国救援计划法案》（ARPA）联邦资金，补足2027财年州预算中对亚利桑那州三所公立大学合计1647.41万美元的一次性削减。这笔削减源于对各大学运营经费总额一次性下调2.5%。按州长办公室公布的分配表，亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）获得809.6万美元，北亚利桑那大学（NAU）获得262.45万美元，亚利桑那大学主校区获得472.59万美元，该校健康科学中心获得102.77万美元。州长办公室表示，这笔ARPA拨款用于全额抵消上述一次性削减，使三所大学不必压缩教学与日常运营经费。霍布斯在声明中表示，亚利桑那州的大学是该州经济发展的引擎，她将支持州立大学获得培养学生、为雇主输送高技能劳动力的资源。（来源：亚利桑那州州长办公室）
Arizona Allocates $16.47 Million in ARPA Funds to Offset Cuts to Three Public Universities
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced on September 29 that the state will allocate federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to offset a one-time $16,474,100 reduction to Arizona's three public universities included in the FY 2027 state budget. The reduction came from a one-time 2.5% cut to each university's operating lump sum appropriation. Under the allocation announced by the Governor's Office, Arizona State University (ASU) will receive $8,096,000, Northern Arizona University (NAU) will receive $2,624,500, the University of Arizona main campus will receive $4,725,900, and the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center will receive $1,027,700. The Governor's Office said the ARPA allocation fully offsets the one-time reduction, so the universities will not have to cut operational funding needed to educate students. In a statement, Hobbs said Arizona's universities are the engine of the state's economic development and that she will support state universities in having the resources to prepare students and supply employers with a high-skilled workforce.
