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: Yes
Myriad unconventional indicators purportedly indicate the economy’s direction usually based upon consumer purchasing patterns. There may be some legitimate correlations since consumer spending fuels the economy more than any other single component. One of my favorites is the hemline indicator based upon the length of women’s skirts -- the shorter the hemline, the better the economy. The concept was actually developed in the 1920s by an economist. Hemlines below the knee in winter 2008 indicated we were hurtling toward recession. Disparate competing fashions of today may symbolize the current schizophrenic directions of the economy -- or maxi skirts now appearing signify another downturn.
