UB Rector, Prof. Widodo, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D., Med. Sc, in his speech said that he hoped the committee would not use university funds.

The Endowment Fund is UB fund that is eternal, the results of which are used to ensure the sustainability of the program. Currently, the Rector said that funds of Rp 50 billion have been collected. However, this fund is still small compared to the needs for a sustainable program worth of Rp 10 trillion. [sitirahma/UB PR/ Trans. Iir]
