History
ASU opened in the fall of 2006. Dr. Donald Singer is the President of the university and Dr. Harry Hwang is the Founder and Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors are five members that include Hwang's wife and daughter.
Several buildings that comprise the current ASU campus were formerly owned by the San Bernardino Sun.[2] The campus spans two blocks and includes instructional classrooms, a dormitory, the ASU gym (formerly the San Bernardino Sun printer press), and the future nursing school building (formerly the San Bernardino Public Defender's Office).
The historic Fox Theatre of San Bernardino is also a part of ASU's campus. All original seating that was once part of this building have been removed to accommodate weekly raves the school typically hosts.
The university has filed applications to turn part of downtown Fourth St. into a campus walkway and start up a sports-oriented charter high school in the city.[4][5]
