Btw I said UTT was created to, which is different from actually does
Alot of things built are not being used for their intended purpose all over the world, who do we blame then?
I just don't subscribe to blame being lumped conveniently on one side, also I do not beleive that the current administration is to be blamed for everything either. But it is their HANDLING of certain issues is what scares me.

No one's blaming "one side" for anything (except may be for some "die hards")..
But you type a whole paragraph defending UTT etc etc... now u back-peddling?
You can't defend an institution for what is was meant to be rather than what it really is and what purpose it really serves..
Anyway... Respect!

The express and their reporters are not credible, they can't be trusted. More information is needed on both sides of this story. Seems there is some sour grapes with a lecturer so he creates mischief and feeds probably half truths to the express.

UWI: Mark satisfied all requirements
Story Updated: Nov 26, 2013
The requirements for the award of Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) degree to House Speaker Wade Mark were satisfied, The University of the West Indies (UWI) stated last night. An e-mail trail between officials of the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business suggests that concessions were made by the graduate school to accommodate Mark and in some cases revealed that Mark did not complete core course work which would have enabled him to graduate. Mark has denied that he did not complete his course work. In a short release headed “UWI’s statement regarding requirements for graduation,” the university stated: “The University of the West Indies (UWI) wishes to advise that the institution has specific regulations and policies that govern students’ tenure from matriculation through examination to graduation. It is unfortunate that information relating to the confidential matter of examination grades at The University of the West Indies Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business was released to the public, contrary to the regulations of The UWI. The articles referred were brought to the attention of senior officials at The UWI and the matter has received their fullest attention. “The examination process is a very closely managed one governed by specific regulations at both undergraduate and graduate levels. More particularly the regulations ensure that all procedures for the award of degrees are strictly confidential. Examination marks are only communicated to appropriate officers of the University and are only made public after they have been duly approved by the Board of Examiners. “A review of our records indicates that in the instant case the requirements for the award of the degree have been satisfied. The University would like to point out that special arrangements are often put in place for students in various circumstances e.g. students who require one course to complete the requirements for the award of the degree. “The university remains committed to maintaining the high standards which we have established over more than 65 years of service to the region.”

One month after graduating with an Executive Master’s of Business Administration (EMBA) post-graduate degree from the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business (GSB), the school’s executive director Miguel Carrillo wrote House Speaker Wade Mark asking that he contact him urgently on a matter that had arisen at the business school.
Continuing Express investigations have also unearthed e-mail exchanges between director Miguel Carrillo and programme director Brian Ghent following Mark’s October 25 graduation from the institution.
In an e-mail dated November 20, Carrillo wrote Mark stating: “I would like you to contact me urgently on a matter that has arisen at the business school. We would also like to have a private and confidential e-mail address and a physical address that we can use to send you a formal letter.”
The correspondence was copied to acting academic director, Dr Ron Sookram, Ghent and director of academic development, Kamla Mungal.
In his response, Ghent said: “I think that is the right thing to do as well as to protect ALJ (Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business) from any questions being raised. I think it takes real courage to do this, to try and right the wrong.”
Carrillo responded saying: “I agree with you. I spoke to the student already and we are getting the ball rolling.”
Contacted yesterday to ascertain exactly what the school needed to speak to Mark about, Carrillo indicated he was in a meeting and the Express should “call back within an hour”.
Efforts to reach Carrillo twice thereafter failed as he did not answer his cell phone.
The Express has in its possession e-mails that were also exchanged following Mark being awarded the degree, with concerns being raised over his lack of course work being submitted.
The exchanges were between Carrillo, Ghent, learning assurance officer (EMBA and MBA SEM) Kavita Siewraj, lecturer and programme director Balraj Kistow, Mungal and first examiner Howard Dottin.
In fact, when queries were conducted into how Mark was assessed, the concerns were directed to Carrillo.
On October 31, an e-mail written by Ghent to Kistow, stated: “I refer to your e-mail dated September 25th to Kavita Siewraj directing her to award Mr Mark a Course Work mark of 28/40.”
Ghent then asked that the particular assignment that constituted the course work, the assessment criteria which formed the basis of the mark awarded, Mark’s assessed performance against this criteria, the submitted text/script/project, the date the course work was assigned, the date the assignment was submitted be shown to him (Ghent).
Ghent also asked Kistow to account for why and under what circumstances and authority “you recommended that he (Mark) be nominated for graduation”.
In responding to Ghent, Kistow copied his response to Sookram stating he had acted under the “authority and direction of the executive director. As such, I would suggest that on this matter that you consult with the executive director for any information”.
Twenty-two minutes later, Ghent informed Kistow he would take his advice, but only on the issue of the recommendation, but he still wanted the information pertaining to Mark’s assessment.
On November 5, in a detailed response to Kistow and copied to Sookram, Ghent said he did not understand why he ought to communicate with Carrillo, since the course is being conducted under him and as such all matters relating to students engaged in the course is open to him.
Ghent also questioned why such matters relating to Mark is “sensitive”.
Ghent then wrote to Carrillo seeking an audience with him to discuss the matter. This was copied to Sookram. To date, Carrillo is yet to respond, sources say.
On November 13, Ghent submitted his resignation letter to Sookram.
His letter stated: “In keeping with several discussions we had, I believe it is important that I record here my deepest concern with the circumstances surrounding the award of the EMBA degree to Mr Wade Mark, as well as, the subsequent responses to me since I raised the matter.”
Ghent’s resignation comes on the heels of e-mails between senior officials at the GSB which indicate that Mark did not fulfil all the requirements for his Executive Management Business Administration (EMBA) degree.
The e-mails suggest that concessions were made by the graduate school to accommodate Mark and in some cases revealed that Mark did not complete several core course work which would have enabled him to graduate.
Mark has denied that he did not complete his course work.
