There could be layoffs at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill Campus if that learning institution continues to witness a reduction in its operational budget, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Professor the Most Honourable Eudine Barriteau has warned.
The outgoing principal in her final report to the council meeting on Friday said that despite several improvements in critical areas even in the face of growing adversity and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the already financially struggling university now had to contend with continuous reduction in its annual budget.
“The Cave Hill campus is at the financial barebones. We are challenged that we cannot really go any lower,” said Barriteau.
