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
It is not so much slow growth, but the type of population growth that is the issue. We are losing a rising generation of workers in their 30s and 40s just entering more productive phases of their careers. Along with losing their skill sets, they take considerable spending power as well as their children to establish families and homes elsewhere. We are left with an aging workforce that will eventually exit the labor market leaving a significant skill gap. We are also increasing the population of un- or less-skilled workers unable to afford living in ever more expensive San Diego.
