Heard this from a school employee that accreditation committee to shut down school might just be a temporary shut down until things improve. Has anyone else heard the same?

I was wondering if there was/is as much discrimination in other schools as there is in IAUPR. IAUPR professors are biased towards Puerto Ricans shown by the amount of rewards given exclusively to undeserving Puerto Rican students who cheated like the 9 who graduated today, I thought it was...

Hi, I have been accepted into UCC and SJB in PR. I know there is a versus thread of this two schools but I would like a more updated opinion. Accreditation for SJB is not a problem anymore, so I won't take that into consideration.

I know there's already a thread like this but it's from 5 years ago and there's a lot of arguing about legitimacy of PR schools and such... anyway I need to make a decision here, and I hope someone with knowledge about the PR schools can help me. I am an OOS applicant, Spanish speaker with 95%...
