LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, all eyes were on exiting principal of the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies, Sir Hilary Beckles, when he criticised Government for a decision that caused more than 4 000 students to drop out of the institution. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart fired back, accusing him of “a singular exhibition of bad, bad manners”.
On Sunday evening, however, when Minister of Education Ronald Jones turned up as a special guest at Sir Hilary’s farewell reception, there was only love and warmth for the new UWI vice-chancellor, as seen here. It’s apparently a case of friends to the very end.
