UWI Vice Chancellor, Sir Hilary Beckles and Dr David Duncan, University of Glasgow\u2019s Chief Operating Officer at the signing of the MoU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The University of the West Indies (UWI) and the University of Glasgow have signed the first ever agreement for slavery reparations since British Emancipation in 1838. The \u00a320 million agreement was signed at the Regional Headquarters of The UWI in Kingston, Jamaica on July 31, 2019 by Vice-Chancellor,\u00a0 Professor Sir Hilary Beckles and Dr David Duncan, University of Glasgow\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, representing Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli.<\/p>\n

The terms of the agreement call for the University of Glasgow to provide \u00a320 million to fund research to promote development initiatives to be jointly undertaken with The UWI over the next two decades. The sum of \u00a320 million was the amount paid to slave owners as reparations by the British government when it abolished slavery in 1834.<\/p>\n

The agreement represents the first occasion on which a slavery-enriched British or European institution has apologized for its part in slavery and committed funds to facilitate a reparations programme. In this instance, the two universities have adopted a regional development approach to reparations.<\/p>\n

The funds will facilitate the operations of a jointly-owned and managed institution to be called the Glasgow-Caribbean Centre for Development Research. The Centre will target and promote solutions to Caribbean development problems in areas such as medicine and public health, economics and economic growth, cultural identity and cultural industries, and other 21st century orientations in Caribbean transformation.<\/p>\n
