Yeah, I disagree with all the hate for LUCOM. They have a great chemistry of faculty, technology, and resources. The Speaker of the House for the AOA is one of the professors. I would say they are taking the role very seriously and have dropped a lot of money into this for it to fail. Most of the staff have multiple graduate degrees, a lot of experience, and some are very well published. Yes, the school is quirky and has an interesting past, but the COM (I feel) will have to rise to the standards of competitive medicine inorder to survive... which I think it will. There are plenty of religious schools who have done well for themselves and I think that you really have to wait and see what the results are before bashing it.
