Since the last review of governance (2004), almost 15 years ago, so much has changed in all aspects of Caribbean life, and in our political economy and educational landscape.
The vision driving The UWI must be supported by governance structures and processes that enable and empower its academic, administrative and student communities.
There is no better time than now to undertake a comprehensive review of all aspects of governance to ensure that The University of the West Indies overcomes its current challenges and is well prepared for a future that is even more challenging and unpredictable.
The Commission shall examine the performance of The UWI in relation to its Objects as stated in Clause 2(a) and 2(b) of the 1972 Charter, including its management practices and its features of transparency and accountability within the University system and make recommendations and report thereon to the Chancellor
