At the University of the West Indies, Sir Shridath Ramphal is best remembered as the institution’s fourth Chancellor, a role he played to full effect for the maximum allowable period of two seven-year terms. For part of that time, he was simultaneously Chancellor of the University of Guyana and the University of Warwick in the UK. Many changes to the structure of the UWI emerged from his Chancellor’s Commission report on The Regional University in the 1990s and Beyond.
