Barbados PM defends Ross University’s move to the island

Prime Minister Mia Mottley has denied there was anything underhanded in Barbados accepting the Ross University School of Medicine School’s move from Dominica, insisting that the educational institution was unable to resume operations in the hurricane-struck island.

“Barbados came into the picture, only when, it became clear it wasn’t an option for Ross University to return to Dominica for the start of the January 2019 semester. This is not, and has never been, a case of poaching or enticing anyone away from Dominica,” she said in a statement on Tuesday.
