if they do have a charter that is good

OF COURSE IT IS! I TALK FACTS! I NEVER SPECULATE ON THIS FORUM

Yes and approved by the Gov of St V.

You bet it is, and RG has more power in ST V than the President has in the USA. And RG has exercised his power (just like the Government of the Cooks islands did last March).

Also I think they have around 15 million in start up funds from the partners

THAT IS GOOD TOO- THEY WONT FIRE STAFF AFTER 4 MONTHS AND CLOSE DOWN IN 8 FOR LACK OF FUNDS

Once you have a charter........IMED will follow. Once you have that financial backing you can go places. You can have some sort of standards. You can hire good staff and look after the students as if there are human beings, unlike what I saw at certain schools. Do you know how many of these exotic and equisite offshore Caribbean schools started on a shoe string, or are running on a shoestring?

My main concern is the reason SGU pulled out of St V - "crime". A quick scan of the local St V newspaper - looks like they have a serious issue with crime there.

James do you think the crime rate in St Vincent has as high an incidence or evinces the type of awfulness as occurs in the average American city, or as say in Orlando, where I live. Tell me so that I can stay here rather than go to St Vincent & the Grenadines to work.

A quick scan of the local Orlando Sentinel paper reveals that they have a serious issue with crime here. But they still have a lot of tourists here too. Oh and there will be a new medical school in Central Florida in a few years still.


Have you ever been to ST V & the Grenadines James?

Is the crime rate in St Vincent greater than say St Kitts/Nevis where they are the most medical schools per square mile.

Just asking a few questions, your honor.
