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
Half of new graduates are jobless or underemployed. Having a job would be much better than reducing student loan payments $10-$20 per month. Costs of attending college are at record highs, but there are downsides to incentivizing students to take out more loans by capping interest rates. This not only does not make college more affordable but lessens restraints on further tuition increases. Far more cost-effective higher education business models would transform and reduce costs. Commonplace innovations found throughout the private sector from an unsubsidized market would help control ever-escalating prices for education more effectively and efficiently.
