The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: YES
Earning a college degree provides significant advantages in attaining lifetime earnings, but many students graduate with high levels of debt. Recent research on San Diego’s post-recession recovery by National University System's Institute for Policy Research finds debt loads are, in part, responsible for too many college students living with parents and not forming new households. The vexing challenge is constructing loan-subsidy programs to help increase affordability and completion rates without exacerbating higher education price inflation. A major problem for California remains a mismatch between jobs requiring college degrees and the number of graduates produced. Shortages of these graduates are projected to number more than 1 million by 2025.
