The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus The opening of this landmark perhaps best symbolises the progress we have been making in our march towards the transformation of the Campus... Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus Principal’s Report PRO-VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRINCIPAL, PROFESSOR HILARY BECKLES he Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination, the name officially given in a grand ceremony to the newly Creativity, constructed creative arts complex on October 12, was opened on December 7, 2006. The naming honours this Innovation Barbados National Hero, the father of its Independence, and the prime mover in the establishment of the Cave Hill Campus. The opening of this landmark perhaps and best symbolises the progress we have been making in our march towards the transformation of the Campus, the Expansion: central goal of the University’s Strategic Plan 2002/7. Standing directly opposite the main entrance of the Campus on Walton Drive, also named after this Hero, the Transforming architecturally refreshing cluster of buildings overlooks the thirty-four acres of the new lands generously given to the Campus by the Government of Barbados in 2005 and the looks across the wide expanse of the Caribbean Sea that links the Campus to the other Campuses and the other Cave Hill contributing countries of the University. Our report this year indicates that 2005/6 was another Campus year of both creative action and achievement as we continued aggressively to implement the strategies for expanding and transforming our Campus as part of the process mapped out for the transformation of the University in our Strategic Plan 2002/7. In 2005/6 we again significantly increased access, especially for Barbadians and nationals of the Eastern Caribbean but without diminution of quality as evidenced by our consistently good examination results and quality reviews. To achieve the goals of greater relevance and improved quality in the face of the increasingly challenging  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus P R I N C I PA L’ S R E P O R T before. We significantly expanded their out-of- classroom learning and recreational encounters in structured programmes designed to produce a more rounded and well prepared graduate. At the same time we deepened our relationship with our public and private sector partners and maintained continuous interactions with the various segments of the Barbados Government on matters of potential mutual benefit, including its national strategic planning exercise. In the appointment of the Consultative Commission for Programme Development and Design drawn largely from the private sector, we further committed ourselves to engaging them fully in our own planning.

The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus P R I N C I PA L’ S R E P O R T While we achieved much progress during the year we recognise that there are still several areas of deficiency. This is largely the result of limited resources, rather than lack of commitment either of ourselves or our partners.

The Commission’s report is now available for consideration by the University. Even as the work of that Commission began, Faculties engaged in their own curriculum reviews with similar objectives, critically assessing both undergraduate and graduate programming. We mention a few only of these and their outcomes. Most significantly, the School of Clinical Medicine  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus P R I N C I PA L’ S R E P O R T symposia which benefited from the participation of international scholars, the Faculty of Humanities and Education designed new programmes in music, film, creative writing, and the performing and visual arts in anticipation of the opening of the new creative arts centre, while the Faculty of Law introduced a new course in Competition Law for the CSME following its earlier review. Internal reviews of the Faculty of Social Sciences led to the introduction of thirteen courses: These included Trade and the Environment, Communications and Psychology, Bio-psychosocial Challenges of HIV/ AIDS in the Caribbean, Gender and Psychology, The CAAC review of the School of Clinical Medicine Social Dimensions of Inequality and Marginalisation, and Research pointed to the need to upgrade the and eGovernance for Small Island Developing States school to faculty status.

The Campus led the process of restructuring the Centre for Management Development beginning with its renaming as the Cave Hill School of Business. This will extend to the amendment of its governance structure. The objective of this is to achieve better alignment with the work and programming of the Campus and the Faculty of Social Sciences’ Department of Management Studies and to ensure that its curriculum and operating standards in its specialist area of executive management education meets the highest standards of excellence.

The CDRC/SCMR significantly broadened the scope of its research beyond lifestyle-related chronic diseases to include important investigations on cancer, complications in pregnancy, trauma, depression and dengue fever among others. In the process, the CDRC has established strong collaborative relationships with international agencies including the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States; regional governments and health-focused institutions including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the Edmund  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus P R I N C I PA L’ S R E P O R T Cohen Vascular Research Centre and the Barbados managing changE: transformation Diabetes Foundation. of managEmEnt systEms and improving human rEsourcEs The A clear focus of CERMES has been the UWI-12 and meaningful collaboration in regional environmental transformation issues.

Led by the consistent work and commitment of a Banner Project Implementation Team, and with the full support of the Deans, we successfully overcame the system problems experienced in the January 2006 registration and moved it to a level where we are now able to register students “any time from anywhere”, subject only to normal scheduling restrictions.  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus P R I N C I PA L’ S R E P O R T The implementation of the Examinations module in 2005/6 has already substantially improved the efficiency of the examinations process, making for the timely dissemination of examination results, which we are now able to provide online to our students. Our priority for 2006/7 is the implementation of the Curriculum Planning and Advising components of the SAS which will improve access to and the quality of student academic advising by permitting students to check their compliance with degree or other programme requirements, online.

In addition we implemented a Virtual Private Network (VPN) which will allow staff when travelling to access all computing facilities as though on campus.

For us at Cave Hill this honour had not been anticipated when we began the lonely pioneering journey to introduce cricket studies as a respectable university discipline for teaching and research. For this purpose we developed the CLR James Cricket Research Centre with its unique cricket holdings, constructed the Walk of Fame to honour our cricket legends, and began the careful work of developing the pavilion, pitch and field and its other facilities that now constitute the 3Ws Oval. In this we are grateful also to the Barbados Government and our private sector donor friends, especially SAGICOR, for their significant investment in this legacy for the use and development of cricket at Cave Hill and a desirable and lasting facility for our students. Finally, then, the Campus was fully engaged during the year in the preparation of facilities for the staging of the Cricket World Cup 2007 Warm-up Matches scheduled for March 5-9, 2007 at the 3Ws Oval.

CHSB will also work closely with its regional counterparts – UWI Mona School of Business and the St. Augustine-based Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business – to offer a Doctorate of Business Administration. The CHSB will enable Cave Hill to fulfil its mission of playing a leading role in the development of the competitive capability of the region, as the region prepares to form its own single market and compete more strongly in the global arena. The CHSB will interact closely with the Department of Management Studies and the Centre for International Services and will also network to offer programmes that are exciting and cutting edge. In order to cater to busy regional and international executives, CHSB plans to offer some of its courses online.

However, at the end of July 31, 2006, the balance outstanding was approximately $10 million (2005 - $13.7 million). This shortfall has delayed the commencement of the implementation of some new programmes and activities, but the management of our cash asset in the form of investments (mainly short-term deposits) was used to cushion some of these late payments. tuition and othEr studEnts fEEs Revenue from Tuition fees was 19% (2005 – 18%) of total income, a marginal increase over the previous year. However, there was an increase of 15% in Student Tuition fees due to the expanded enrollment. There continues to be an improvement in the collection of fees as a result of further enhancements of our Financial Information Systems and our monitoring of the registration process, via the Computerised Student Administration System. spEcial proJEcts incomE This year revenue from Special Projects and Other Special Funds represented 20% of total revenue (2005 – 18%). The internally generated funds arising from additional income and other cost saving measures have been used to finance new and upgraded programmes and activities and show an increase over the previous year.
