The Vice-Chancellor of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, has described as \u201cinaccurate\u201d the headline of a story indicating an agreement had been reached with the University of Glasgow to pay \u00a3200 million (One British Pound=US$1.27 cents) in reparation payments to the regional tertiary institution.<\/p>

In a brief statement, Sir Hilary said that the headline of the story originally published in the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper last weekend and subsequently carried by other regional media outlets \u201caddressing the vice-chancellor of the University of Glasgow\u2019s admission that \u00a3200 million in fees, endowments and grants were received from Caribbean slave owners, and attributing reference to an \u201cagreement\u201d with the vice-chancellor of The UWI to repay the said sum, was inaccurate\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement said that the \u201cuniversities are working through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) built upon the principle of \u201creparatory justice\u201d, but there is no \u201cagreement\u201d about the repayment of \u00a3200 million to The UWI.<\/p>

\u201cIn good faith, the two universities, ever since the vice-chancellor of the University of Glasgow, Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, indicated that his university seeks to be excellent and ethical, have had excellent conversations about how the University of Glasgow can contribute to cleaning up the colonial legacies of slavery that are holding back the region\u201d.<\/p>

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

The statement said that a working team has been established, which has made many reparatory justice submissions, \u201cbut is yet to complete its deliberations\u201d.<\/p>\n
