Where is the bigotry? Where is the so called rights violations?
I hear mostly disbelief and anger at this entitled woman who has utilized this clinic's services three times with no issue. She was inconvenienced, at the very most, once! And now she is suing the system that provided her free maternity and delivery care of four children because she was inconvenienced. Not only are others picking up the tab for her right to breed, now they may be picking up the tab for the inconvenience she "suffered". She is not the victim here. The public, including her four kids are.
I think you understood that I meant the courses were evaluated, but transfer credits are counted. The purpose of foreign credential evaluation services is to compare apples to oranges. Perhaps if COB were a member of this board, it would not be required. However, I know this to be a requirement for all international transfer students. But thanks for your explanation regarding accreditation by the US Board...
The US department of Education has an extensive list of accredited colleges and Universities, and accrediting agencies. Some of these schools, including mine, are listed and I know for a fact that COB credits have been accepted by others on this list as well, after a ***course-by-course*** evaluation. Of course Govt. & politics, D grades and certain other credits are lost. But I maintain COB credits are not worthless in the US.
If your nephews' situation is the new normal for COB transfer students then COB needs to be overhauled, and standards improved not abandoned.
That is interesting that COB would not meet that standard, please expand. Nonetheless, where there is no matriculation agreement, COB credits are evaluated credit by credit by a foreign credit evaluation service, and are usually accepted by most US schools. Do these US Universities not meet that standard as well?
Nonetheless, COB would still be cheaper for Bahamian students when room, board, and the students' inability to earn income are considered. Beside that, even without the global academic standard designation, the quality of education is on par with the US colleges you promote.
The solution here is no tuition increase is warranted, COB should be affordable for all Bahamians.
She clearly did not have insurance, otherwise there would be no issue. She pays her insurance company, they pay for her services. The End.
Stop making excuses for this woman's reckless behaviour. She missed the deadline to apply because she was busy making babies. The law states she could apply between 18 & 19, she determined her own citizenship fate when she applied at 19. Her application should be sitting with the pile of rejects who are avoiding detection. The best thing she can do for her four kids is to ensure she takes their belongers permit with her to Haiti.
I'm confused, I think we both agree on this issue. She should sue the Haitian government because if she is denied a passport, they are the ones being unconstitutional.
Proven how? Her parents were born in Haiti, they should have reported her birth to the Haitian embassy 21 years ago. Haiti recognizes such children as Haitian. However, at some point she must have obtained those impossible documents because was able to apply at 19, past the deadline. How is any of this the government's fault? Did the government officially advise her to forgo birth control and to sit on her application until the deadline had passed?
What about the Catch 22 setup by the Haitian community where they have multiple kids they cannot afford, sponsor other illegals to come...and now the Bahamas is faced with the task of documenting, proving healthcare, educating, possibly social services benefits and fighting lawsuits from a population that grew 75% in 30 years. They have overwhelmed this country's systems for years, then complain about the backlog they created.
Also, she was seeking public healthcare, for her fourth child from a clinic that she routinely receives maternity care, that says a lot about her financial capacity to take care of her four kids.
The ambulance chaser strikes again with yet another baseless case. No immigration policy prohibited her from medical care, a misinformed nurse did, but in the end she was provided service. That should be the end of story. But this serial baby maker and her four kids are not bleeding the Bahamas enough for this unscrupulous clown with a law degree. His fake concern for upholding the law is laughable! This woman has acknowledged her late application, he should then also consider her to be "illegal, irrational and unconstitutional" but instead he says she is entitled to even more from this country. What an idiot!

It's simply a figure of speech. It's not derogatory.

She said the woman is having babies "like roaches", meaning very quickly. She did not call the woman a roach!
