Vice-Chancellor of The UWI, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, commenting on the latest\u00a0Times Higher Education<\/i>\u00a0report stated, \u201cThe people of the Caribbean are deserving of a first-class, respected university and this is precisely what we are committed to achieving and sustaining. We are intellectually focused, strategic in our choices and actions, and not distracted in any way. These excellent results are the outcomes of the sustained, smart work of our academics and administrators, students and service providers.\u201d<\/p>
