What happens to the UCSD Bookstores profits?
Although the Bookstore is a non-profit entity, we have the same direct and indirect expenses as any retail business. The Bookstore is owned by UCSD and the profits are used to pay occupancy expenses, to compensate UCSD for indirect and administrative overhead, and to reserve funds for equipment replacement and future growth. Student fees are not used to subsidize the operation of the Bookstore.
