Evaluation to be done of VC’s performance before decision on new contract –UG unions

Professor Ivelaw Griffith

The two unions at the University of Guyana (UG) say they have been vindicated by a decision of the UG Council to have an evaluation done of the performance of outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ivelaw Griffith before any decision is taken on a possible new contract.

The University of Guyana Workers Union (UGWU) and the University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA) had been locked in a battle with the UG Council on several issues pertaining to Griffith.

In a statement yesterday, the two unions said they felt vindicated by two Council decisions at a meeting on Thursday.
