COMMENTARY: Peters Should Go – The calculus of knowing when to quit

Dr. Donald Peters

The President of the Dominica State College (DSC), Dr. Donald Peters, has worked as a department administrator in a few higher learning institutions in the United States. In 2004, he left the position as the Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at the State University of New York (SUNY) Plattsburgh. In spite of not having an in-depth working knowledge of a Facilities manager, Dr. Peters should know the effects in which the  poor quality of buildings and environments can and do affect learning. He also knows in a fundamental way that an excellent and well maintained campus and classrooms contribute immensely to a positive and uplifting academic environment.

If this is the case then what is going on at DSC’s Stock Farm campus under Dr. Peters’ tenure? How can young students learn in dilapidated, deplorable and decayed buildings and classrooms with adverse safety, security and gross public health issues? This sort of things and conditions exists in war torn places like Afghanistan and Somalia, and in failed states with refugees. Or in places with displaced ethnic minorities with oppressed children with armed military police controlling them. These appalling conditions at an institution of higher learning should never occur in a place like Dominica where education has lifted so many of its sons and daughters. What a shame!! What an embarrassment!!

When it comes to student learning, school facilities matter. A positive classroom and campus environment are two primary factors which make students feel a sense of belonging and the ability to trust others. It provides the ambience that encourages students to tackle challenges, chase their career dreams explore and pursue their passions, take risks, and ask hard questions.

Decades of research confirm that poor conditions and qualities of school facilities affect students, teachers. This invariably results in overall academic achievement and a lack of community that can have a profound impact on both teacher and student outcomes. With respect to teachers, below par and deficient school facilities affect teacher recruitment, retention, commitment, and effort. Conversely, a good environment provides clear learning goals and feedback, and strategies to help students to build social skills, self-esteem and succeed. Simply put, students learn better when they view the learning environment as positive and supportive.

Kudos to the courageous students their parents, supporters professors and Union Boss Mr. Letang  for exposing  this  hurtful and disgraceful   “autopsy” of Dominica’s only Tertiary Institution  of learning. Has Dr. Peters been derelict in his duties and essentially abdicated his responsibilities as the President of the State College?

Why didn’t the Government budget, allocate and utilize funds for maintenance/reconstruction of these school buildings, library and address this grave situation on priority? What about the lack of computers for students and staff, classroom space a library, no equipment in the labs among other things such as the Theatre room and others? Has Dr. Peters focused and lobbied hard enough for his students, faculty and campus and if not, why?

In June 2010, Dr. Peters stated that governance and lack of equipment are current issues facing the learning institution, but he is ready to have them rectified. He was quoted as saying “There are issues … governance is an issue … enough faculty, equipment … but I can ‘fix’ those.” So what happened? Have you been on the job Sir?  Of course we can blame the usual suspects, Hurricane Maria and the Covid crisis for not prioritizing and the blatant disregard and shameful disrespect of our best and brightest and our future leaders.

The question for Mr. Peters is whether he should stay on as President despite having and enjoying absolute political cover and protection.  But there are clear signs that he should strongly consider leaving because the students have created a popular movement that has succeeded in converting Dominicans to overwhelmingly support their urgent cries and pleas and noble cause.  Also are the complaints or problems at Stock Farm indicative of a larger problem with Mr. Peter’s management style? And how widespread is the dissatisfaction with his overall leadership?

It is abundantly clear Mr. Peter’s reputation, professionalism and capability as the DSC’s President has been probably permanently fractured and is irreparable. Will he be allowed to continue as the top administrator of the DSC which is big pregnant with other operational issues that desperately need fixing for the overall effectiveness and sustainability of this vanguard institution? How can a leader stay on when demands are valid and when his presence most likely and probably conjures up such negative and angry emotions, disdain and contempt given the recent industrial actions and more?

It seems almost impossible that Mr. Peters can and will be able repair that trust and guardianship confidence of the college’s faculty, parents, and students and staff he one enjoyed. No matter what he does from here on, it will never be enough. But there are times when a College chief should walk away from a job. This is the perfect opportunity that Mr. Peters ought to recognize and realize that now is the poignant time to turn over the reins of the Dominica State College and move on.

Good Luck in your next endeavour and thanks for your invaluable years of service at DSC Sir. We wish you well.

    KID ON The BLOCK is correct. Dr. Peter’s removal will not solve the current problems at the state college. Why don’t you nasayers provide a real solution like setting up a fund to repair the campus instead of always injecting politics in everything? Put your money where your mouth is if you’re truly concerned about Dominicas’ youth.

      You and kid on the block both right. Removal of Donald peters will not solve college problem. I totally agree. Let me also add a solution. Lets remove the entire government apparatus by any means so we can fix Dominica. Passport money is our money, taxes is our money. We are basically putting money in a big pool so the government can allocate responsibly. If you are asking people to put thier money after taxes and after they pay for school fees then your request is baseless. When people pay taxes thats what the unwritten expectations are; proper management. I will be polite and just say Donald Peters need to vacate the college. Starting to show signs of predatory behavior.

      Are you the Mark of the Beast? People who can’t find employment, can’t pay their utility bills, can’t put three meals per day on the table should make monetary contributions to fix the DSC?

      Why can’t the sticky finger Emperor take the billions of the CBI monies held in offshore accounts and finance the repairs to the institution?

      Why doesn’t he vacate his tax payers funded palace and take those savings and make the necessary repairs to the DSC? ($ 764 000 per annum).

      Mark, you and KID deserve each other. Birds of one feather flock together. Same asinine thinking.

      You are too fresh my boy. Why should ordinary Dominicans put their hands in their pocket to pay for fixing a state institution when our P.M. has no problem cashing more than $60,000 every month from us to pay for his rent. May I suggest that it would be more helpful for the leader of the country to remove himself and save us that burden.

      Hey you need to go there yourself. The pics with the roofless ones are about two buildings on the perimeter of the old college buildings. The College’s roof was repaired by the Cubans. And there are many good buildings to the north and south of the road.

      That is why I want you to take a drive up there. Misleading pictures. The college was not bombed. Hurricane Maria damaged the roof etc. But all the main buildings have been repaired by the Cubans. And there are maintenance people working there.

    Donal Peters is partly to blame, also, since there was no board in place there was no accountability by this man.
    furthermore, where is the ministry responsible for environment and welfafe?
    should there be a safety inspection carried out periodically or otherwise on this once new facility. Also, there should be a facility manager overseeing the condition of the building, that person should be making recommendation to mr perter on the wel-being of the property.
    there’s more i wanted to say but in the interest of summary, its right that Mr peters should immediately vacate his position because it shows he has no foresight and vision, instead believe he can continue to do whatever he wishes alone without being challenged by anyone other than the PM.

    This is what we call progress? Remember i said it, “the hospital will be next, i’m giving it 5 years before it too becomes dilapidated.

  6. Anthony P. Ismael
    May 18, 2021

    I am not defending Dr. Peters here, but the issue of decaying buildings and public infrastructure in gross disrepair is unfortunately a Dominican problem. Any facilities manager who is worth his salt, will tell you that approximately 10% of the total cost of any facility is spent on annual maintenance each year. As these facilities age, the cost rises exponentially. A professional, well-equipped maintenance team is just as important if not more so than the architects and engineers who designed and constructed these buildings. The mold infested Marigot Hospital, the old Portsmouth Police Station and the Post Office in town, are shinning examples of poorly maintained government facilities.

    • The Calabash
      May 19, 2021

      Agreed. The worst example is that of the Public Works facility in lower Goodwill. That was a maintenance facility for the country, by definition. Yet it was the most dilapidated and deplorable site in the darn country. There is a larger point here; if we set high standards in public places and institutions, it infuses that standard into the whole society and leads to high economic standing and valuation.

    As leader of the “alleged famous 6:30 Club”, it is imperative that we all remind Doc P that it is indeed factual that 6:30 cannot go into 19 regardless of how good a math lecturer you are. Math is based on numbers and numbers don’t lie. Therefore, its high time that we get a leader at the college that is able to lead with good, but respectful hardness of our students.

    Donald Peters must know that the State college he allowed to run ashore under his leadership is his fault alone. It doesn’t take any university education to know that the environment in which learning is taking place has to be conducive. As the person in charge he has a responsibility to advocate for the physical institution to achieve the mission and for the staff and students. His rediculous statement that the college had operated without a board, so he couldn’t see the big issue with protesting for having one in place, says it all about the dereliction of duty by Donald. The lines have become blurred between his duty to the college and his political enabler role. We grade performance based on results, and when results are atrocious there has to be a price to pay, except with the nepotism practiced by the Labour party and it’s cabal, where keeping secrets and defending dogma, no matter how rediculous, are what secures tenure. Peters has failed and he must leave.

    As a citizen and youth, I would actually be interested in seeing some sort of statistics based on the following question directed to our youth:

    1. If the opportunity was given to peruse paid tertiary education in another ‘Caribbean’ state/community college or remain in Dominica, who would you leave or stay?

    I believe that would be a healthy exercise for everyone. No political motives just a question.

    Your article to me seemed very well written and intentioned by the way. It would also be nice to get an official statement on the matter from Ministry of Education officials If not already done.

    The filthy, unsightly , disgusting and unthinkable conditions at the premier institution of learning is a damning indictment of jot only Mr. Peters, president of DSC but the Minister of Education and the entire cabal..

    Education is what most people use to lift themselves out of poverty. This sector of the economy should be given apex priority.

    To get the best from both students and staff the physical plant, internal and external, must be conducive to learning, that is, pristinely clean and be given the requisite resources.

    My take is that everyone who works at or attends that facility should be entitled to a free and thorough medical check-up. Mr. Peters should be summarily dismissed and Minister Pampalam remove from holding the portfolio of Minister of Education.

    Hospitals, health centers, police stations, post office are all victims of Skerrit-DLP led government’s gross mismanagement and ineptitude.

Even the sidewalks from the College to the end close to the Public works are maintained by some young persons who plant flowers etc. The parking lot very clean. The 2 buildings that are still roofless are old buildings which I am sure will be replaced as it is not cost-wise to repair but demolish & redo (common sense prevails).

      Dominica is not a place that need help; Roosevelt Skerrit told all the idiots who listens to him that Dominicans are much better off than people living in the United States; he also claimed that Dominica is the most prosperous island in the Caribbean.

      With all that best of everything mentality how come you want people to come and help?
      Peters is an old,old man who should long be sent home to sit on his behind; instead he is one of the kind; another tool of Roosevelt Skerrit blocking progress in the country, that man is too old to be involved in peoples education.

      I am an aged man too, but when I was a young boy that man stood far over me in age. It is time for him to go and rest his tired body, rather than propping up corruption in the country. Come and help when Roosevelt gives billions to Foreigners to build hotels?

            Be informed that more than ten years ago, the Government of Mexico gave Dominica a grant of approximately fifteen (US15,000,000.00)  million dollars to finance that hospital.

            That is an equivalent of EC$40,500,000.00 okay, so don’t boast, the only other place such money could have came from is the corrupted sale of Dominica passports.

          call others names Like “idiot”

          When last you saw me call anyone an idiot?

          I Francisco is an idiot, or can be an idiot when the time suits my purpose!

           But, I can assure you that there are more idiots in Dominica than any other place on the planet; if that was not so Roosevelt Skerrit would not still be in power screwing up Dominica, and keeping people like you poor!

          Convince me that Dominica is not the poorest place on the planet you know; and I will stop calling this Wesley boy here an idiot too!

          Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

          By the way, I read where someone refers to somebody as “sticky fingers:”

          Ah Wanda who dem talking nuh?

          Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque doh have sticky fingers, but ah know somebody in Dominica who’s fingers have money magnet in dem ten fingers oui!

          And I know it doh is you ?????????????????.

          Well said Francisco, well said. We will continue as dressing the discomfort and dumbfounded stupidity thoughts created through this deceitfullness Nonsensical ridiculous Labour Party Government. We know that Skerrit is not and as NOT been leadership Nor PM material. He’s this bug Pappyshow in our Government and lacks the Developmentally focus thoughts to manage our government and its Development. Skerrit is Not leadership material, that we must reminder. It’s just this on going Pappyshow Political wedding on going.
          For our Dominica to be developed, we need sound, honest, visionary, dedicated committed respected sound mature intellectual leadership for our Suffering families and People. This current LABOUR GOVERNMENT has failed us. This has been a big Pappyshow and Joker DLP Government. We need to raise the profile and standard of our Suffering unemployed people created by Failed Skerrit and his failed questionable incompetent Bobolistic deceitful Labour government. DLP Out. UWP In.

      Instead of being this Immature childish Kid on the Block, be this intellectual Decent gentleman who is able to Guide and direct our Youths and people to better understand and comprehend the bigger picture of Socioeconomic development concept, the ways and processes in the development of our villages, people and our ailing Dominica under this failed incompetent Labour government. We need to be the guardians and advisors of our politicians that they are sufficiently matured and focused on the bigger picture of Socioeconomic Development, Employment and the decency of good governance and management skills in compliance with the protocols of good governance, loyalty to our Constitution and bylaws and respect to everyone who are in need of jobs and stability. If you politicians are weak or absent to the concept and processes of Good Governance and decency in politics then get the hell out of our government. It’s not a pappyshow, it’s a qualified administration to be respected at all times.

      @Kid On The Block, Skerritt said that Dominca doesn’t need an opposition and your submission echoes that sentiment. You are stating his wish but using different words. Those who choose to oppose the wrong in “their” country, have protection given by the constitution to do so. You are even going one step beyond Skerritt by suggesting that the constitutional protections of opposing don’t matter. That position is a problem for sustainable socio economic development. Therefore be a part of the solution and don’t be a problem towards the development of Dominca.

    Dr Peters has studied the Modus Operandi of the polluted and highly corrupt DLP vert well. Whenever you do a very bad job, the liars and corrupted ministers of government accord to you a promotion..So he wont leave anytime soon. He will be walking the streets smiling with a promotion badge of honour.. Was the college bombed recently? “”Mag Way Sar””. That is “”saloptay”” .
    This college is where our $64000.00 per month to Skerrit should go. This is where the useless payment of $450 000.00 to Byron should go. This is where the money to buy more vehicles to Skerrit security fleet should go.
    Remember the CEO of Ross University Lisa Wardell said this government does not have a bias for educstion and health. They studied the liar in chief very well.

    Yea i support his resignation. You cannot be moving against your staff and siding with the government (your friends dem) and making excuses almost 4 years after Maria. Meanwhile the DSC is in shambles, what remains not maintained, GSS is in disrepair, DGS is over populated, but all skerrit care about is his good time and opulence. Great wall of China, new private vehicles costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars turning up in his constituency, people like Peters and Bardouille enjoying the fat of the land, young women included and nothing of importance is payed attention unless elections are near. Otherwise Dominicans can kick rocks and suck salt, we are not their concern. Peters needs to hand in his resignation.
