02/14/2019 – 10:00 am

February 14, 2019 – Demerara Waves

GEORGETOWN – University of Guyana (UG) workers on Wednesday (February 13, 2019), intensified their demand for an in-depth examination of how the institution is spending its monies at a time when there is a cutback in certain expenses, but Vice Chancellor Ivelaw Griffith denied responsibility for running the institution broke.

The workers’ unions believe that the Vice Chancellor has been wasting much-needed money on employing several select persons, including overseas-based Guyanese, at super-salaries, sending large delegations to overseas events, and holding social events at his residence on the university’s bill.       Continue reading →

University of Guyana Guild of Graduates, Ontario (UGGGO) responds to Freddie Kissoon’s articles

09/20/2018 – 1:37 pm

Dear Editor,  [Letter from Harry Hergash]

I write regarding Freddie Kissoon’s column “I am donating $10, 000 if you guess right”, Kaieteur News, September 16, 2018, and the follow-up column “The amount was $845 G”, Kaieteur News, September 17, 2018. The latter half of the first article relates to an award won by his daughter, Kavita Kissoon, at the University of Guyana. The second article continues to vent his feelings on the award.

In the first article Mr Kissoon writes “My daughter won a prestigious award for topping her class at UG in the second year as the best performer for that year in her programme. The award came from a reputable Guyanese organization in Canada attached to UG and has an ongoing functional relation with UG. If you guess close to the right amount, I will donate $10,000 to whatever purpose or cause you suggest… You will be shocked to know the figure. It was best to give the student a plaque or a book. But to give the student that amount was poisonously insulting. This is my only kid you are talking about. I am protective of her so why should I let some fools in Canada insult her.”         Continue reading →

The University of Guyana takes this opportunity to respond to the article by Freddie Kissoon, titled

`Dr Mark Kirton is livid, confused and wants to know what’s going on’, carried in the Kaieteur News on August 29, 2018.
