Thursday, July 02, 2015, Source

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — The Guyana Government says it intends to nominate the former Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Professor E Nigel Harris for the post of Chancellor of the University of Guyana (UG).

Education Minister Rupert Roopnaraine said the new David Granger Administration will nominate Professor Harris, through its representative on the Council to serve as UG chancellor.

Professor Harris served as UWI Vice Chancellor from 2004 to 2015. Prior to his appointment at UWI, he served as dean and senior vice-president for academic affairs at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia and held several leadership posts, including chairman of Barbados-based Caribbean Examinations Council; chairman of the Association of Commonwealth Universities; and he is currently president of the Caribbean Association of Universities, Colleges and Institutes.

The Guyanese-born academic is a rheumatologist who is best known academically for identifying with collaborators a disorder called the Antiphospholipid Syndrome and for developing the test for its diagnosis and has published extensively on these subjects.
