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.

Kelly Cunningham, National University System - NO: Eliminating tax breaks or deductions “allowing” workers to keep more of their hard-earned money is not a subsidy in any true sense. Such deductions are simply a means of being fleeced less intensely than otherwise. If a robber commits highway robbery, and the victim persuades the robber to allow him to keep something for bus fare, this is scarcely a subsidy or allowance to one’s own earnings, particularly in an already high-tax state like California.
