While the University of Guyana’s unions appreciate former Vice-Chancellor Ivelaw Griffith’s decision not to seek a contract renewal, they said on Thursday that they are also still insisting on having several things done, including a financial audit of the institution’s books.
After constant back and forth between the University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA), the University of Guyana Workers’ Union (UGWU), and the university’s administration dating back to last year, Griffith last week indicated his intention to not seek a renewal of his contract.
This had come after Pro-Chancellor Major-General (Ret’d) Joseph Singh had made a round- robin decision to keep Griffith on the job and to pay him in lieu of leave as he had signaled his intention of seeking a renewal of his contract.
