Harvard University, Antigua agree
on program of co-operation
By Nelson A. King
Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister
Gaston Browne said on Tuesday
that the president of the prestigious
Harvard University in Massachusetts,
Dr. Lawrence Bacow, has responded
to his advocacy for a program of cooperation
between the university and the
Five Islands Campus of the University
of the West Indies (UWI) in Antigua.
The prime minister said that Dr.
Bacow has indicated “the willingness
of Harvard to work out cooperation
arrangements that would benefit the
Five Islands Campus in acknowledgment
of Harvard University’s historical
relationship with slavery, particularly
confronting past injustices and their
legacies,” according to a statement
from the Office of the Prime Minister.
The statement said Harvard Law
school was “founded on an endowment
in 1815 that was funded from
slavery on the Royall’s plantation on
Antigua.”
Preliminary discussions to establish
a framework for cooperation will be
held in January after the university’s
break for the Christmas season, the
statement said.
