No astute witness to the cataclysmic decline of the University of Guyana over the years would seriously challenge the view that the prevailing conditions at the institution are, in large measure, a function of the debilitating diet of crass political intervention that it has had to endure and much of which has manifested itself in some of the most unenlightened and counterproductive feuding between the country’s two main political parties.

In the matter of the transfer of the nurse for what is perceived by the regional administrator to be a slight against him, from accounts the administrator seemed more concerned the nurse’s missive in her complaint against a councillor of the region, was not copied to him, than in the complaint itself (‘Nurse who complained about APNU+AFC councillor transferred with immediate effect’ – SN April 20 2017).
As stated in yesterday’s editorial, the complaint by nurse, Ms Sherlyn Marks against the former Region Five councillor Ms Carol Joseph raises issues as it relates to protection of whistleblowers and whether the transfer of the nurse was a blatant attempt to punish her for being forthright.
