As one of the world’s leading universities, the University of British Columbia creates an exceptional learning environment that fosters global citizenship, advances a civil and sustainable society, and supports outstanding research to serve the people of British Columbia, Canada, and the world.
The University of British Columbia educates a student population of 50,000 on major campuses in two cities. By legislation, the UBC Board of Governors is responsible for the management, administration and control of the property, revenue, business and affairs of the University at both campuses.
Public trust is implicit in the relationships the University maintains with the students, alumni, faculty and staff for whom it exists, the broader community that it serves (including residents), and the organizations, governments and individuals who support UBC. Responsible governance and accountability for public resources are key components of that public trust relationship.
