The Jamaican government has given its support to the establishment of the fourth campus of the University of the West Indies in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Karl Samuda, Minister without portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, said the issue was a hotly debated topic by Cabinet ministers in relation to whether it would mean an additional expenditure for existing member states.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“Initially, it was felt that it was necessary for us to establish all the implications and the possible costs down the road. A conclusion was arrived at that the government of Antigua And Barbuda would finance the entire cost of establishing the campus and it was therefore agreed that we would support it.\u00a0 But there is an implementation committee…that will include Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica,” he revealed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
UWI Vice-Chancellor Sir Hilary Beckles has said the campus will serve Antigua and Barbuda, as well as the wider Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States sub-region which includes Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts-Nevis and Montserrat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
