Embracing a new financial culture

The EMT retreated on July 14, 2021, to discuss the implementation of the University’s new operational plan, Operation Revenue Revolution (Operation RR 75+).

Among the commitments made were the reduction of expenditure and increase in revenues by 10% per year in each of the coming three years. Each campus also identified bankable commercial projects to be implemented to strengthen their entrepreneurial functions and rewards.

In these robust operational planning discussions, the team heard from special guests: Chairman of CARICOM and Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, the Honourable Gaston Browne; Group President and CEO of Sagicor, Mr. Dodridge Miller; and President of the CDB, Dr. Hyginus ‘Gene’ Leon. They represented valued stakeholder sectors in the University’s operational ecosystem and gave endorsements on behalf of Caribbean governments, private sector and developmental agencies.
