The University of Guyana (UG) says that it has taken a number of steps to strengthen the management of sports programmes at the university, a release from the institution stated on Saturday.
These, it added, have been initiated by a task force on sports through the office of the Vice-Chancellor and follows a report two weeks ago, into improper action by a member of staff at a recent international sports meet.
“While the official enquiry into the incident is still being completed, a series of important steps have already been taken aimed at strengthening the university’s governance and ethical systems in regard to sports management. These include creation of a draft Code of Ethics for Clubs and Officials and a draft Selection Policy for sports. These new policies are expected to be sent for comments, review and finalisation within the next six weeks. The university is being supported by national and international sporting bodies in this regard.”
