THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY of Barbados (WUB) has come under fire from some of its students over what they deem false promises and mistreatment by the university.

An e-mail to the DAILY NATION on behalf of the aggrieved WUB students outlined a number of their concerns with the school, located at the Casa Grande Hotel in St Philip.

The students highlighted issues such as the fact that the school, which opened in 2016, had not been officially paired with an American hospital as had been promised.

They also raised concerns about a lack of adequate study material, equipment and furniture, and the fact there was only one classroom available for 85 students. Additionally, they pointed out that the school had not completed its mandatory Barbados Accreditation Council (BAC) registration. (AD)
