The University of Guyana Act, Section 9, provides that the Chancellor of the University of Guyana shall be elected by the University’s Council.
The office of Chancellor became vacant following the completion of the distinguished tenure of Professor John Edward Greene. On behalf of the Government of Guyana, I extend sincere appreciation to Professor Greene for his dedicated service to the University and for his valued contribution to its development and standing.
I am pleased to note that the Council of the University of Guyana has identified Sir Ronald Sanders as the prospective Chancellor of the University.
Sir Ronald brings to this role an exceptional record of scholarship, public service, and international engagement that aligns closely with the University’s aspirations for academic excellence and global visibility.
A former Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford, Sir Ronald holds a Master’s degree in International Relations from the University of Sussex, and has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of the West Indies and an Honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Guyana.
He has served as Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, and as Senior Fellow at Massey College, University of Toronto.
He was Rapporteur of a Special Committee appointed by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London on the future of the Commonwealth Institute and was an elected member of the Executive Board of UNESCO.
Internationally, Sir Ronald is among the Caribbean’s most accomplished diplomats.
He currently serves as Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the United States and the Organisation of American States, and has served an unprecedented three terms as President of its Permanent Council.
His experience in multilateral diplomacy, scholarship on small states, and sustained engagement with leading global policy institutions reflect a depth of intellect, credibility, and international respect that would further enhance the academic stature and global reach of the University of Guyana.
At a moment of major investment in human capital, his leadership would strengthen the University’s role at the heart of Guyana’s emerging knowledge economy.
The Government of Guyana welcomes the appointment of Sir Ronald Saunders as Chancellor of the University of Guyana.

Would he stay on in his position as Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador to Washington as well? Can he serve Antigua and Barbuda’s interest and the University of Guyana interest simultaneously? This is at a time when a lot of focus and attention is needed as we tussle with Washington over our visa situation.
A run he running,because he dropped the ball big time with this Visa thing.
He should have been recalled as embassador immediately after that anyway, so good riddance.
This man did not help Antiguan’s in his capacity. He was just another waste of a pay check, just like the many others GB has in his cabinet.
This man was always quick to run his mouth in support of GB, but when the perfect time presented itself for him to run his mouth and stand up for Antiguan’s, he all of a sudden got a case of the lockjaw.
A total failure this man was.
Yet they think this man had any kind of sufficient loyalty to the people of the United Islands of Antigua and Barbuda.
When will ABLP understand the importance of placing Antiguans and Barbudans who are qualified in their positions?
I am it total agreement with the sentiments about his loyalty. He was first appointed by LB. Ms Michael the great lady that operated the private jet hanger will be best to tell us about his history. GB then reappointment him and propelled him even higher, nominating him for several international positions. He knows how to lobby for position.
So now he has let down Antigua, along with the others that manage the CIP program. All becoming very wealthy on the backs of Antigua’s sovereignty/ Passports . He is doing character / profile damages control. Secondly Guyana now oil wealthy and being the opportunistic individual he is will easily jump ship.
Hey the diplomatic Antiguan passport doesn’t worth fart anymore. On the other hand Guyana economy, passport, diplomatic standing is parallel to any first nation.
Our politicians believe that they are the only Antiguans that can hold high positions. So they pack up our diplomatic offices with foreigners or descendants of foreigners.
@Audley Phillip,
Your comments always try to look at the optimistic and the positive.
Quite often it takes a shallow position.
This person Saunders who came to Antigua and Barbuda with other journalists. The others have moved on decades ago.
Most important my he is the architect of:
“Keep them (Antiguans and Barbudans) uninformed and misguided, needy and stupid; so you can keep control of them.”
Thats has been the ABLP mantra before and after he was taken in as Lester Bird’s side kick.
This is like Trump being made President of an Ivy League School.
There are many, many, things you and many others who opine here don’t know about Antigua and Barbuda politics.
Lots of Antiguans live in a fantasy world. (Don’t shoot the messenger) Their lives are being turned upside down by the Visa situation, which was mismanage by many including the Ambassador.
In as much as I detest Prime Minister Gaston Browne; the UPP has no chance of desolating him.
It’s hard to admit but Antiguans, are of the mindset that in as much as they are upset and disgusted with and by Gaston Browne; they will not vote to put the UPP in government with its current leadership.
The voting public has no confidence in the current UPP leader, who is being propped up by those who aspire for positions in a UPP government, such as the Ambassador to Washington.
These people use the term “Pringle is the duly elected leader”.
I say to these individuals keep playing that game of “Duly elected Leader” and keep sucking salt for the positions to aspire too.
The DULY ELECTED LEADER fraction; for their own selfish interests are propping up Jamal Pringle, when he is unelectable as Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda.
@Countryman Abroad His real name is RONALD SINGH he changed his surname to a white man name SAUNDERS,he sees himself as a white man and not INDIAN.He is a SOCIAL CLIMBER.He refused to be KNIGHTED by the ANTIGUA GOVERNOR GENERAL using the CUTLASS he requested to go to BUCKINGHAM PALACE to be knighted with the SWORD by HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ELIZABETH. (FACT CHECK)
I am not aware that individual is a LAWYER.It appears titles are giving away by the UNIVERSITY of GUYANA to confer an HONORARY DOCTORS OF LAW LLD on SAUNDERS.
LLD stands for DOCTOR OF LAWS,which is a doctoral degree in legal studies it is awarded to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to legal research, scholarship,or practice.The LLD is often regarded as the highest academic degree in the field of law and can also be an honorary degree recognising outstanding scholarly contributions to the LAW.The GUYANA BAR ASSOCIATION needs to question that AWARD.
