The University of the South Pacific (USP) is scheduled to hold its council meeting in the Cook Islands from November 23rd to 25th. As confirmed by Mr. Radrodro, the agenda will focus on addressing various staff-related issues, especially those that arose during recent protests.
The meeting comes in the wake of dissatisfaction expressed by the USP Staff Union and the Association of the University of the South Pacific Staff, who went on strike last month, citing a lack of leadership from Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Pal Ahluwalia. Mr. Radrodro emphasized that it is crucial to discuss these pressing issues, particularly regarding the appointment of the visitor and the appointment of the Pro-Chancellor.
This council meeting represents an opportunity for resolution and dialogue, aiming to foster a more collaborative environment within the university. The discussions may lead to positive changes that can enhance the leadership structure and address the concerns of the staff.
As the university seeks to navigate these challenges, there is hope that productive conversations will result in better governance and a more supportive atmosphere for all faculty members.
