That's not even considering the eco­ nomic stimulus of the University's product — educated individuals. What UBC's 47,000 grads living in the Lower Mainland put back into the community is immeasurable. In a recent article in the Vancouver Sun, Jim Matkin, head of the Business Council of B.C., expressed concern over the speed at which economic restraint was being imposed on B.C. universities. "The idea of public sector restraint shouldn't be an idea that's seen as a broad brush," said Matkin. "There is a difference between differ­ ent segments of the public sector." Matkin's comment is especially noteworthy when one is comparing cutbacks in a university with cut­ backs in a company. For example, a company might have to cut back because demand for its product has fallen. But, demand for the univer­ sity's product — degrees and diplo­ mas — has not fallen during the reces­ sion. Quite the opposite: full-time student enrolment at UBC increased from 23,604 in September 1980 to 25,177 in September 1984. And there is good reason why the university's product is so much in demand. According to Statistics Can­ ada's 1981 Census, the average 1980 income of a university-educated Cana­ dian husband/wife family was about $45,000. Where both spouses had less than secondary education, family Correctional Service Service correctionnel income dropped to $24,000.

A year later, because of recommendations made in the report, the University Amendment Act created five new “Special Purpose Teaching Universities.” There are not many new universities created in Canada and the research on how to become a university is scarce. Moreover, what happens with the university governance, the leadership, and the strategy after the institution has changed its status has not been studied.
