A recent article published on September 30, 2025, detailing an alleged seizure incident involving a student at the University of the West Indies Foundation for International Cooperation (UWI-FIC), has sparked significant controversy. The article claimed that the university failed to respond adequately to the situation. However, a concerned mother, whose daughter experienced a similar incident on the same day, has raised serious doubts about the accuracy and motives behind the report. In a heartfelt response, she emphasized that the details provided in the article were inconsistent with her daughter’s experience and questioned whether the author was impersonating or misrepresenting the event. The mother highlighted the importance of using established internal channels to address such issues rather than resorting to public criticism. She also expressed concern that the article could damage the long-standing collaborative relationship between her family and the university, which has been instrumental in supporting her daughter’s education. As an educator and advocate for equitable access to education, she urged the author to retract the article and issue a public apology to protect her daughter’s reputation and the integrity of UWI-FIC. She emphasized the university’s critical role in the region’s development and called for constructive dialogue to address health-related challenges in academic settings.
