What is it about?
Caribbean students' poor treatment by regional universities during the pandemic. We dispel the myth of the homogeneous Caribbean and how it impacts regional higher education and examine expectations by stakeholders of the publicly-funded university.

Why is it important?
The research on Caribbean students is seldom explored and when done they either feature their sojourn in developed countries or integrate their experiences with similar ethnic groups of the host country. The lack of reporting and research on this minority group can be considered a form of cognitive injustice as these students are left to the mercy of poorly decolonized systems.
Perspectives
The Caribbean is slowly imploding as a result of poorly decolonized systems and power structures that daily disenfranchise citizens and minority groups such as international/regional students. The more systems become politically motivated the less they become of service to their original purpose and the more citizens are barred from true intellectual development and presented with opportunities for real growth
