The University of the West Indies\u2019 Executive Management Team embarks on a planning retreat on Wednesday, July 14 in order to roll out a new operational plan to deal with the financial challenges facing the institution as a result of shortfalls in expected revenues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Many students and governments are experiencing difficulties in meeting financial obligations to the University in respect of tuition fees and related economic costs for teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

First off, the regional University is committed to cutting expenditure and increasing revenues by 10% per year in each of the coming three years, thereby significantly eliminating cash shortfalls that frustrate operations. Each UWI campus is expected to implement bankable commercial projects in an effort to strengthen its entrepreneurial functions and rewards.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regional governments currently fund about 50% of The UWI\u2019s total operational cost, down from near 80% twenty-five years ago, and exceeding the recommended target of 60%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the retreat, Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles will present for discussion and approval \u201cOperation Revenue Revolution\u201d which seeks to confront and improve the financial difficulties facing the institution, and to transform its business management culture.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In 2017, the University launched its Strategic Plan entitled the <\/span>Triple A Strategy<\/span><\/i> with pillars of <\/span>Access, Alignment, <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Agility<\/span><\/i>. Phase one of the Operational Plan, 2017-2022, called for a \u201cReputation Revolution\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Vice-Chancellor Beckles, \u201cThe outcome was spectacular. The reputation of the University soared regionally and globally\u2014ranked #1 in the Caribbean, top 1% in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, and top 3% of the best universities internationally. The strategy has delivered great success and the projected time has come to roll out part two of the operation\u2014<\/span>The Revenue Revolution<\/span><\/i>, 2022-2027\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The principal focus in the coming period will be on the financial sustainability of the University. \u201cThis moment was anticipated five years ago. First we had to fix matters relevant to the University\u2019s brand and reputation. We are on target and we are steadfast. Consultation and dialogue across campuses will be deepened in coming months\u201d noted Vice-Chancellor Beckles.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has generated a sense of super urgency and serves as an accelerator. In 2020 our staff and students rose to the challenges in the most spectacular fashion, producing a powerful sense of readiness for shaping the future of a reengineered University. The retreat will capture and build upon this internal commitment to change and transformation, while designing, structuring and consolidating the implementation of \u201cOperation Revenue Revolution\u201d. The strategic objective of this second phase will be pursued as aggressively as its predecessor\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
