The University of the South Pacific (USP) is set to hold its council meeting in the Cook Islands from November 23rd to 25th. This meeting will focus on various important topics, with particular attention to staff issues stemming from a recent protest.
Mr. Radrodro confirmed that the agenda will include discussions on the appointment of the visitor and the position of Pro-Chancellor. This comes after the USP Staff Union and the Association of the University of the South Pacific Staff engaged in a strike last month, expressing their concerns over what they perceive as inadequate leadership from Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Pal Ahluwalia.
The council meeting serves as a crucial platform to address these pressing matters, highlighting the university’s commitment to improving its internal governance and responding to staff grievances. This situation presents an opportunity for constructive dialogue between university leadership and staff, ultimately aiming to foster a more collaborative environment moving forward.
In positivity, this meeting could pave the way for open communication and improved relations within the university, which could enhance the educational experience for both staff and students alike.
