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.

If the shutdown lasts only a short time, modest economic fallout would occur and be quickly made up. But if it drags on, much greater impacts will result from shaken consumer confidence and disrupted spending. Stock markets could be shaken and businesses stop hiring. The housing market, for example, could be hampered as the FHA, which insures mortgages, delays processing home loans. Goldman Sachs estimates each week the federal government is closed, federal spending would be reduced around $8 billion, and real GDP growth slowed by as much as 0.8 percentage points at an annual rate for the quarter.
