ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ budget commits to improving the campus experience
In the coming years, all ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ staff and students will have access to affordable, mouthwatering food choices and a couple of gyms to help burn off the calories.
On April 4, the Board of Governors approved ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s 2013-2014 budget, paving the way for these exciting future improvements to the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ campus experience:
- Fitness facilities, available to students and staff at both campuses
- New Broadway campus food services tied to an expanded international culinary program
Both of these ideas were recommended by students. Planning for the food services transition from Sodexo to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ is already underway, although changes won't take effect until 2014. A comprehensive planning process will soon begin for the fitness facilities.
The budget — a result of extensive feedback gathered from both students and staff — also includes a two per cent tuition increase for domestic students and seven per cent increase for international students. Even with these changes, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s international student tuition rates are still among the lowest in B.C.
Through this budget, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ remains committed to its key priority: student success through quality education and positive campus experiences.
