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.

NO: Attempting to micromanage the economy by increasing minimum wages, living-wage ordinances, and mandating employee benefits such as health insurance (see Obamacare) serves to kill jobs and harm those intending to help. The wages workers receive more or less equals their production value. As automation becomes ever more pervasive, minimum-wage jobs are most endangered. McDonald’s is already implementing touch-screen kiosks to handle cashiering duties. The best way to increase wages, including those at the bottom of the ladder, is through economic prosperity by reducing taxes and regulations encouraging people to invest and expand their businesses thereby creating more jobs.
