BOOK Message from the President “The University of British Columbia, aspiring to be one of the world’s best universities, will prepare students to become exceptional global citizens, promote the values of a civil and sustainable society, and conduct outstanding research to serve the people of British Columbia, Canada, and the world.” Dear Colleagues, UBC has achieved remarkable growth in the last five years. The operating budget has increased by 50%, the Okanagan campus has been established, world class researchers have been attracted to work in our new research centres, new student residences and a doubling of scholarships and bursaries have enhanced student life. And our ambition is not slaked. I am committed to the goals of Trek 2010 and I look forward to working with the entire community to take the steps that will implement this vision. Preparing the 2007/08 budget presented a number of challenges particularly with respect to the operating budget for the Vancouver campus where a significant budget deficit loomed. The UBC Okanagan operating budget also required hard work to balance. The Executive and I consulted widely over the appropriate response to this deficit and the community responded creatively and supportively. A number of targeted revenue increases and cost reductions were suggested, and are included in the budget, and there was a broad consensus that the remaining deficit should be addressed by across the board one-time measures. This difficult decision was made on the explicit understanding that throughout 2007 the University would work to develop a mid-level academic plan that would enable the development of a sustainable multi-year budget for 2008/09 and subsequent years. This process is under way. I would like to thank the community for its tremendous support during the budget process - it is a true testament to the commitment that the faculty and staff have for UBC. I am pleased to submit a balanced budget for 2007/08 to the Board of Governors for their approval. Stephen J. Toope President i THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 2007/2008 BUDGET SUMMARY BOOK Preface Financial Reporting and Budgeting prepared this information for review by the Board of Governors on the consolidated budget of operations for the University’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

Executive Summary Overview Established in 1908, the University of British Columbia consistently ranks among the forty best universities worldwide.
