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: No
Increased spending over the Thanksgiving weekend may not necessarily be an indication of improving economic conditions, but rather a reflection of hard-pressed consumers frantically seeking discounts or perceived bargains, or more likely an effective advertising ploy by retailers to motivate shoppers into stores. Similar to the Occupier movement getting much greater attention than warranted substance, the Black Friday shopping phenomenon may be more fabricated event than real shopping opportunity, especially given the many ways available for consumers to buy goods, especially considering on-line shopping. Nevertheless the economy has slightly grown in 2011, and expected to somewhat improve in 2012.
