the quote by R.L. on the you tube video shows major shadiness.

"we are just waiting for the documents from the local govt.... maybe"

MAYBE?????? it sounds like from the interview that they really dont have a clue as to what is actually happening with their own school.

all while collecting tuition from students. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

Well, it's a business. No one ever from the school remarked on the quality.

so this is the most recent post on DJ $iva's blog- THIS is what the school is telling its students?????

Quote:
Today (according to the word on the skreet) we found out that the Accreditation for the skool has been approved retroactively to March 2007, the date when the skool got its foundation registered! It appears that the main delay was basically a court decision to strike down a medical school monopoly on this island, and from what I've heard, it took a lot of effort to finally get the local government to act. So its pretty cool because now CMU is like a new school that has already overcome a few big start-up challenges and can probably now really move forward in its mission as a medical school! So everyone is pretty excited over here! Anyways, we got word that the incoming class is like 40-60 students or something like that and that most of the students were just waiting for the accreditation of the school in order to make their decision. Basically, it seems that there is a lot of instability in the Caribbean Medical Schools outside of the "big 4", so a lot of students are just waiting for one of the remaining 28 or so schools to stabilize in order to have at least one pretty decent school outside of the big 4. Oh yeah, the air-conditioning works very well at the school, which apparently is like a big deal on other islands! So, hopefully on Monday we'll get the official document about the Accreditation, and then this whole initial drama at CMU can be chalked off as an unfilmed reality show episode that was actually well worth the money spent. Holla!
for those of you who want to delve deeper into the mind of DJ $iva (though why.....)

dj $iva melbourne/ los angeles

and evidently its AC availabliity that makes for a stable off shore school...not something silly like proper credentials....
and BTW DJ...its spelled S-C-H-O-O-L

So people can't pick something like SMU, AUA, or a handful of other schools that have stable track records and all their records already in order that they have to pick a school that was struggling to get it's BASIC paperwork in order let alone anything else?

What?? men a university that gives free basketball nets have the potential to be the BEST university ever, unless they mislead and copyright some stuff here and there, but they will never do that so they are number 1 in my book of ____________

10 years from now we will read this forum and they might still be around.

No, this one will end up with problems like St. Chris and that other one somewhere in Nigeria or there abouts; I forget the name.

Defunct.
