Subject: Petition for Intervention in the Hiatus of Dr. Aaron Chadee
Dear Professor Ramlal and Professor Ramnarine,
We, the undersigned postgraduate students of the Faculty of Engineering, are writing to formally express our concerns regarding the recent hiatus of Dr. Aaron Chadee, a lecturer who has played an integral role in the education and development of students within our faculty. Dr. Chadee’s departure represents a significant loss to our academic community, given his profound impact on student’s success and his dedication to maintaining high academic standards.
It has come to our attention that Dr. Chadee has faced longstanding administrative challenges and it is to our understanding that the strain of these unresolved administrative matters ultimately led to his decision to take a break. Dr. Chadee has provisionally stepped down, awaiting a satisfactory resolution of these issues, and his decision appears to stem from an environment that has not supported him equitably.
We, as postgraduate students, have benefitted greatly from Dr. Chadee’s instruction, guidance, and mentorship. His commitment to our growth and his dedication to his responsibilities have left an indelible impact on our academic and professional lives. Just to mention Dr. Chadee’s commitment to students, he extends beyond the classroom hours since after master’s classes, he often stays back, sometimes as late as 10PM, to answer our questions on course material. He also remains accessible through WhatsApp and other platforms, providing continuous support whenever students need it. We stand united in our endorsement of Dr. Chadee as a vital member of the faculty, whose contributions cannot be easily replaced.
We, therefore, respectfully request your immediate intervention as well as the intervention of the upper echelons of the University in this matter. It is our hope that your support and influence can address the unfair situation Dr. Chadee faces, and enable him to continue contributing meaningfully to our faculty.
Thank you for your attention to this pressing issue. We trust that, in your capacities as senior administrators of the University, you will consider our request seriously and ensure the preservation of the academic excellence we strive for within the Faculty of Engineering.
Sincerely,

I have been hearing from so many of you about how vital his mentorship was during your own research projects. The administration remains silent on our inquiries but your stories show exactly why we cannot let this situation go unresolved.

Seeing this level of support confirms that we are not the only ones who see the value Dr. Chadee brings to our faculty. His guidance shaped my own path here and it is clear many of you feel the same weight of his absence.

He is one of the best lecturer I have had the pleasure of being taught by. His ability to apply real life situations to the lessons is what all post grad students appreciate.
I stand in solidarity with Dr. Chadee. He has been instrumental in the development of the post graduate students under his care thus far. Hoping for a speedy resolution to this issue.
Dr Chadee has both theoretical as well as practical knowledge in Construction and is the only person qualifed in such in the Department at this time. Postgraduate Students will face extreme difficulty in completing this program without Dr Chadee’s input
It is essential for UWI to retain Dr. Chadee as our lecturer and program advisor. He deserves the best possible employment terms to ensure his continued employment with the university. The current situation is unacceptable, and we demand that UWI take immediate action to honor Dr. Chadee’s contributions and treat him with the respect he unequivocally deserves.
The UWI and we students need Dr. Chadee to continue as our lecturer and programme advisor with the best possible employment terms for him so that he is encouraged to stay with UWI. This situation is disgusting and I hope UWI gets it's act together and treats Dr. Chadee with the respect he so genuinely deserves.
Uwi needs more lecturers like Dr. Chadee
Dr. Chadee is the best all-rounded lecturer one can ask for.
