Every year, the ministry writes to the public post-secondary institutions outlining operating budget allocations, service delivery targets and priority issues. The letters are a component of ministry planning, as identified in the accountability framework. Goals and objectives are identified in the annual ministry service plan. Each institution helps achieve those goals and objectives through specific accountabilities set out in the government letters of expectation. This letter details the agreement of accountabilities, roles and responsibilities between the Government of British Columbia and the Malaspina University-College for the period April 1, 2008-March 31, 2009. The following are attached: (1) Malaspina University-College Accountability Framework 2008/09-2010/11 Performance Targets; (2) Malaspina University-College 2008/09-2010/11 Operating Transfers and Overall Student FTE Targets; and (3) Malaspina University-College 2008/09 to 2010/11 Operating Transfers and Student FTE Targets.
