Dear Editor,
In one of the most lucid discussions of the UWI/Bain affair I have seen so far, Alyssa Lindsay has taken apart the attempt by Professor Rose-Marie Belle-Antoine to defend the position of UWI, relative to the sacking of Professor Bain. Alyssa is indicated to be a student, but she has clearly bested the professor in clarity of thought and assessment of issues.
I, myself, was appalled by Professor Belle-Antoine's weak arguments in defence of UWI, as I read her article last week. But I certainly was not able to craft so fine a response or to so finely pick apart the major points of Professor Belle-Antoine's weak reasoning. As I read the professor's article I was struck by her poverty of argumentation, and wondered how she could occupy so prominent a position at the St Augustine Law School.
If a student, possibly not even of law, could produce such a dismantling of the professor's arguments, I wonder what arguments UWI's lawyers will be able to adduce in defence of their clients when the suit filed by Professor Bain comes up for hearing.
Maybe Professor Bain's lawyers should ask the judge for a no-case submission right at the start of the proceedings.
Good job, student Alyssa Lindsay, continue to use your God-given talents to show befuddled humanity how to think clearly.
