The Antigua Barbuda government says it is still awaiting formal notification from the University of the West Indies regarding approval of the fourth landed campus here.
A meeting was held on May 31 to ratify the decision to place the Fourth Landed UWI Campus at Five Islands, Antigua.
The government said that for a second time, there was some pushback from one state, whose representative wanted assurances that Antigua and Barbuda’s planned financing arrangements would yield sufficient resources to operate the Landed Campus.
“That state, Barbados, has a campus at Cave Hill, and its representative expressed the view that it could not provide financing to Antigua if there were a shortfall in revenues,” a statement from Cabinet said.
The government reported on Wednesday that the Campus is a “fait accompli;” but Attorney General Steadroy Cutie Benjamin said he was still awaiting the formal correspondence from the UWI.
“He was assured that the approval will be communicated to the Government by way of a written communication that will reach Antigua shortly,” according to the government.
