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.

Kelly Cunningham, National University System - NO: The multifarious legislation will not rectify 50 years of chronic dysfunction in California’s housing mismanagement. Adding interventionist "solutions" to problems caused by previous interventions will leave more problems in its wake. Subsidized housing with additional layers of bureaucratic regulation and more fees/taxes does not solve problems at the expense of what could be produced under less hampered market solutions. Loosely defined concepts with ambiguous goals further muddy the need, in the end, for more housing.
