Dear Editor,
More than five months ago the University of Guyana community had great difficulties with actions taken by its Council, the highest decision-making body of the institution.
Following accepted procedure, questions were raised and directed to the Council; the Academic Board requested a meeting with that body and the Deans met with the Chairman of the Council in order to have many grave concerns addressed. This discussion with the Chairman (who is the Pro Chancellor) worsened rather than advanced the situation. The University community took measures to back up its call for a meeting and to register dissatisfaction with what had been done and the way it had been done.
