Dear Editor, In his letter to the members of the University of Guyana Council, dated June 25, 2012, in which he retracted his acceptance of Council’s unanimous re-election to serve as Chancellor of the University of Guyana for another three years, Prof Compton Bourne himself confirms the several claims made by the unions about his shortcomings and his inability to function as an effective Chancellor.
