NU efficiencies equal NU growth in old areas and provides FabuLes opportunities to create NU growth in areas that never existed. After all, isn't that what our institutions of higher education are here for (FOR CRYING OUT LOUD). Okay, "inflation the perfect imperfection", we see U, we definitely feel U. We should thank U because, its GAME ON!!!
