I'm confused, but what else is new. ACGME standards for pathology program accreditation must be really low, as in practically non-existent to be precise. I'm starting to think that all you need for a pathology residency is a non-condemned building, working utilities, and some form of usable optics to look at specimens of which neither quality or quantity matters.
It should also be noted that the affiliated institution/program already has a residency program, so I'm not sure what the need is other than cheap subsidized labor.
