You have made some arguments with great support. But you have also made a few with lack of support and completely wrong assertions. To deny this would be disengenuous. Just look at your second post in this thread. You're claiming an accredited school are St. Croix would make a mockery of the standards - how so? If they meet the standards. You've claimed that this is a "problem" for the LCME, because of it's geographical location in the caribbean? You've said PR is an "exception," but not according to any LCME rule that exists. You have claimed PR is included, because it's "huge" and has "infrastructure." Where might I find this on the LCME website? I see it included because it is a part of the US. You're applying international LCME policy to domestic LCME policy. You claim this is a political nightmare for the LCME because of a medical school like the other Caribbean schools would be on the island, when in fact the medical school in question would be affiliated and a part of an already established American university.
It's true, we're running in circles. I won't be surprised one way or the other if they are accredited.
But there is one thing I'm certain of: If they are not accredited, it will have nothing to do with the fact that the school is affiliated with UVI on St. Croix.
