The EDITOR, Sir:

Regarding the article entitled 'What's up at UWI?' published in The Sunday Gleaner February 10, the executive committee of the Mona Association of Postgraduate Students (MAPS) would like to unequivocally state that the above-mentioned publication was compiled and submitted without the knowledge of the executive and did not have our approval.

MAPS represents all graduate students on the UWI Mona campus. The executive body of MAPS serves as the liaison between graduates and the campus' administrative body.

While we do agree that there are some valid concerns raised in this publication and that these concerns indeed need to be addressed, the executive of MAPS is agitating on behalf of students through the policies and channels available and has seen positive results in recent times there is still much to be accomplished, we are encouraged by this trend, and we will continue to actively address the issues of graduate students on the UWI Mona campus.

I am, etc.,

Dwaymian Brissette

President

Mona Association of Postgraduate Students
