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
We could but choose not to. San Diego’s lagging exports reflect decisions made a century ago. Given the choice between developing as an industrial hub or preserving a more bucolic way of life, San Diegans chose, and continue to choose, “geraniums over smokestacks.” To be an export power we would need, at a minimum, to install a fully functioning cargo container port, multi-runway airport, and much more robust rail connections. Contrary to what Brookings implies, however, San Diego continues to do pretty well with relatively “low impact” export activities stressing research, development and innovation over production and physical export of goods.
