UWI management and students hold talks after halted protest

A plan by students at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus to stage a protest this morning was halted by security and police due to a lack of permission.

The group of over 20 students, led by Guild President Tyson Holder, intended to demonstrate to press management to address a range of issues including hall security, mould, challenges with the shuttle service and restricted access to the guild’s finances.
