Docron,

I do appreciate that St. James got my foot in the door to being a doctor. But since I was actively involved in trying to improve the school I cannot help but voice my concern about the current state of things at St. James. I wish the President would take more fellowship in the students and school. I know there are too many good professors and students there to continue this way.

I have been hanging around at Xavier now for a while and I don't see the longstanding problems at Xavier that plagues SJSM. I am not upset with the teachers, because St. James has a way of getting some really good ones. But when one of the new professors doesn't get his contract renewed because he is asking for too many supplies, then it's the same problem over and over.

I know you guys will make it to MD status. You guys (and some gals) have a true desire to be doctors. I know who you guys are and I truly wish the best for you guys. I know and acknowledge certain things in the past that have happened between the 2 schools. But recently, it is more of the professors leaving SJ than anything. Also, the sheer volume of real problems that don't change at SJ overshadows the few things that Xavier has pulled in the past.

I would love to see both the schools work together on issues like immigration and labs. I believe Xavier admin believes the same but I don't think that will happen.

I'm sorry man abot the way you feel about my post but I get too many questions about it. And my goal is not to bring dirt out on St. James, you know there are a lot of things I could say, especially about the recent facts I emailed you on. Am I saying you can't become an MD at SJ? No but I, like any other student, would like to believe that SJ will progress into a fine institution. And I am disappointed to say that thing are not moving along.
If the situation changes, I will be the first one to say it because I am for the student, that has always been my goal.


I won't say anything else about St. James out of respect for you guys. Unless it is a major event, or someone asks me a direct question. My word.
