A trade union representing more than 1,000 staff members at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona campus is proposing that private sector companies pay an increased tax of half of one per cent to help fund the running of the region’s premier education institution.
The West Indies Group of University Teachers (WIGUT) Jamaica also proposes that the number of postgraduate students at the Mona campus be increased in order to bring in more money for the institution.
The proposals were included in a response to the UWI Chancellor s commission on governance report which recommended, among other things, that students pay 40 per cent of tuition costs, up from the current 20 per cent, while government’s share of tuition costs be lowered from 80 per cent to 60 per cent.
