ABOUT THE COUNCIL
The Campus Councils were established on each Campus by Statute under the Charter, with the responsibility to preserve the regional character while giving greater autonomy to the Campuses to respond to national needs and those of the non-campus countries. A fundamental aspect of the accountability of The University of the West Indies is the annual meeting of the Campus Council, where Annual and Faculty Reports are presented. This year the Campus Council meeting will take place on March 27th 2012 and will include the Chairman, Mr. Ewart Williams, the Vice-Chancellor, Pro-Vice Chancellor & Campus Principal, Pro-Vice Chancellor Planning & Development, Deputy Principal, Campus Bursar, Deans, Academic Board representatives and Guild representatives among other University Executive Management. The overarching theme of this year’s report is ‘Take a closer look’ which brings to mind an opportunity to focus on our initiatives (both large and small) which are propelling the UWI into the future.
