On Monday we told you how the Jamaican Supreme Court ruled in the favor of the former UWI Professor, Brendan Bain. The court ordered the University to pay him $32,000 US because they wrongfully terminated him in May of 2014.
You'll remember that the University fired him for his supposed "anti-gay" testimony against UNIBAM and Caleb Orozco in 2014. Well today, UWI's Vice Chancellor, Hilary Beckles, released a statement making the point that while Bain was successful in his lawsuit, the university had its own victories as well.
The Statement from Beckles says, quote, "We have reflected on the judgment and note with some satisfaction that the Court… found that… the University… did not breach any implied term of trust and confidence in the employment contract with our distinguished Professor emeritus and respected colleague, nor did it defame him in any way. The university respects the judgment of the court and is desirous of moving forward with the important work at hand." End quote.
