St. Luke School of Medicine has filed a First Amended Complaint, adding the State of Oregon Office of Degree Authorization as a defendant in their lawsuit. They also have added a bunch of new allegations about defendant George Gollin.
Unfortunately Part 3 of the first amended complaint was too big to attach, but it was just exhibits. It's available for download on the PACER website. The good stuff is in Part 2.

The irony here is that George Gollin's facade of masking his wreckless behavour was the always exaggerated claims of all the fake MD's out there and he is out to save us all from those fake MD's. Funny how this instance really bit him on the ass.
Here's a few excerpts from the First Amended Complaint.
From pages 7-8:
Quote: O. DR. GEORGE GOLLIN
22. Defendant Professor Physics at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois, purports to be a higher education expert in “diploma mills” and fraudulent colleges and universities. He also claims to be a consultant to the Republic of Liberia and its Ministry of Education.
…
T. STATE OF OREGON, OFFICE OF DEGREE AUTHORIZATION
24C. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendant State of Oregon, Office of Degree Authorization purportedly provides for the protection of the citizens of Oregon and their postsecondary schools by ensuring the quality of higher education and preserving the integrity of an academic degree as a public credential.
U. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS—URBANA CHAMPAIGN
24D. At all times relevant to this Complaint, the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign was an Illinois Institution of Higher Learning.
From pages 52-56:
Quote:GEORGE GOLLIN, THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS—URBANA CHAMPAIGN AND THE STATE OF OREGON’S OFFICE OF DEGREE AUTHORIZATION
179. Dr. George Gollin is a physics professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign (“Gollin”). Gollin has been publishing defamatory information against SLSOM on his website at the University of Illinois since 2003. Gollin has admitted that he is a consultant to the Republic of Liberia and Liberia’s Ministry of Education. In this manner, Gollin played a significant role in assisting Sheriff, Bahr and Roland in sending false information to ECFMG, ultimately resulting in SLSOM’s removal from the IMED, and played a significant role in the extortion and “shake down” of SLSOM and Dr. Dolphin. Gollin’s published statements on his University of Illinois website have been used and referenced on at least 36 different websites in the United States alone. Some of the false statements published on Gollin’s University of Illinois site are presented here:
a. Gollin lists SLSOM as a “diploma mill” on his University of Illinois website. On his site, Gollin defines a “diploma mill” as an “organization or individual that produces and sells diplomas, degrees transcripts, or other academic records that are meant to give the impression of academic achievement, but really represent little or no study.”
b. On his site, Gollin published that “St. Regis University even operated St. Luke’s School – they put MDs out there on the street. These were medical degrees That were not just to hang on the wall, they were going to use them.”
c. On his site, Gollin published that “David Karam, one of the apparent owners of SLSOM, organized a company manufacturing producst described as curing skin cancer and offering potential treatments for diabetes and hepatitis. As ‘Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer’ his fake M.D. lent an air of legitimacy that helped convince a pair of investors to buy $400,000 of stock in “Bio-Life Labs, Inc.,” shortly before its officers abandoned the company.”
d. “St. Luke is a diploma mill.”
e. “A U.S. State Department official says it’s fake.”
f. “Liberia says it’s illegal.”
g. “A Ghananian official said it’s bogus.”
h. “Liberia says St. Luke is a fake.”
i. “St. Luke School of Medicine: www.stluke.edu, an entirely fake medical school run from TX, KY, CA.”
j. “Another unaccredited entity is the “St. Luke School of Medicine” with domain http://stluke.edu’ St. Luke was declared illegal by Liberia in 2004 but continues to operate, using various U.S. addresses. At least three of its American “graduates” have served prison terms for attempting to treat patients.”
k. “Do recall that a number of customers of “St. Luke School of Medicine” have been incarcerated for their activities, but that the (American) operators of this supposedly Liberian, Ghanaian, California, Texan, and Kentuckian monstrosity are out and about, selling patient medicines, issuing degrees, and selling stock in a company that claimed to market a cure for a skin cancer.”
l. “It could be quackery. It could be criminal. The American Medical Association needs to get involved.”
m. “The American owners of the “St. Luke School of Medicine” took advantage of the catastrophic civil war in Liberia to claim, without governmental challenge, to be training medical students in Monrovia. (They weren’t.) In 2005 U.S. Embassy personnel in Liberia visited St. Luke and found ‘no evidence of Anything resembling a functioning medical school.”
n. “Even the vile St. Luke Medicine retains its .edu domain.”
o. Gollin also holds himself out as an expert in “diploma mills” and how they operate: “How do diploma mills operate? An extensive description of how certain well-know diploma mills work through the Internet and the Web while obscuring their owners’ true identities. Based on research for [State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization] by Dr. George Gollin.” “How can I [Gollin] tell whether an institution is a degree mill? Most degree mills have certain characteristics. A good overview of these is available from University of Illinois.”
p. Gollin threatened to put SLSOM “out of business.”
The University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign and the State of Oregon’s Degree Authorization has taken responsibility for Gollin’s defamatory statements. On October 9, 2003, the University of Illinois ordered Gollin to remove the defamatory statements, with Chancellor Robin Kaler stating that “We were trying to help [Gollin] find a more appropriate place for his website” because a website on diploma mills should be “housed in a place that deals with accreditation.” Additionally, Kaler admitted that Gollin’s statements were defamatory “personal attacks.” To date, Gollin’s website at the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign still contains many of the defamatory statements listed above. Gollin, attempting to avert attention from the University of Illinois, shipped his entire website with all its contents to the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization’s website, where it is now currently housed.
All of Gollin’s statements listed above were patently false when made. Gollin, the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign, and the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization continue to defame SLSOM by publishing and hosting Gollin’s unsubstantiated “research.” Gollin, the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign, and the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization, by publishing defamatory statements against SLSOM, harmed and continue to harm SLSOM’s reputation worldwide, their actions ultimately playing a major role in ECFMG’s removing SLSOM from the IMED. Gollin, the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign and the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization have refused to remove the defamatory material when asked to do so by SLSOM.
180. The University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign is complicit in its support of George Gollin, who uses University of Illinois letterhead and insignia to lend credibility to his misinformation. The University of Illinois has permitted Gollin to use its computers and servers in Gollin’s campaign against SLSOM. Additionally, Gollin has slandered and libeled SLSOM in more than two dozen speaking engagements, as listed on his University of Illinois website: http://web.hep.uiuc.edu/home/g-gollin/ .
Gollin’s University of Illinois website contains seven direct links full of false and misleading information about SLSOM.
Gollin’s defamatory comments have adversely affected Dr. Dolphin’s professional medical and business career. Where Gollin discusses SLSOM, as set forth above, he invariably mentions Dr. Dolphin as SLSOM’s president. By mentioning Dr. Dolphin by name in connection with Gollin’s false statements, Gollin, the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign and the State of Oregon’s Office of Degree Authorization defamed Dr. Dolphin, the school’s president and founder.
Gollin’s false statements have impacted Dr. Dolphin’s credit report, wherein it states that Dr. Dolphin is under investigation for fraud – a completely false statement. Gollin’s false statements have impacted Dr. Dolphin’s business opportunities. Dr. Dolphin was prevented from an opportunity to purchase stock and options from OptionsXpress because OptionsXpress believed him to be a fraud based on Gollin’s false internet statements.
181. Gollin recently presented a 91-page document to the Ghana National Accreditation Board full of false, libelous, and slanderous statements about Dr. Dolphin, Dr. Dolphin’s wife, Susanna Mitchell, and SLSOM. The document was submitted to the Ghana Court of Appeals by the National Accreditation Board to appeal a judgment in favor of St. Luke School of Medicine-Ghana (not the same institution as St. Luke School of Medicine-Liberia).
182. The Ghana National Accreditation Board submitted Gollin’s document to cast doubt on the credibility of Dr. Dolphin and SLSOM because SLSOM-Ghana won accreditation in Ghana through a decision of the Ghana High Court in October 2009. In Gollin’s document, he claims that Dr. Dolphin is a fraudulent criminal, despite the fact that he was never arrested in Liberia or sued for fraud by anyone from Liberia, or anywhere else in the world including the United States before, during, or after SLSOM’s crisis in Liberia in 2005. Gollin accused Dr. Dolphin of being a fraud. Furthermore, he accused Dr. Dolphin’s wife of embezzlement without any proof, only naked assertions that cause her name and reputation to be publicly disparaged in Ghana.
Most of those same statements repeated again later, and then on page 63:
Quote:All of Gollin’s statements listed above were patently false when made. Gollin’s false statements were also made maliciously and with reckless disregard for the truth. Gollin was aware, as of April 2007, that SLSOM had obtained two defaults against Liberia as set forth above.
From page 64:
Quote:197. Defendants’ False Public Statements were published and so disparaged the quality of SLSOM’s services that despite SLSOM’s extraordinarily high medical licensing examination pass rate (96%), ECFMG removed SLSOM from the IMED twice, with the second removal continuing to the present time. Defendants’ statements have also caused others to consequently disparage SLSOM’s name, property and services, Dr. George Gollin and the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign have and continue to disparage SLSOM and its services, students, diplomas and degrees based on information gleaned solely from the aforementioned sources and from Gollin’s consulting relationship with the Republic of Liberia.

The "fake MD" thing was an obvious lie. Everyone knows it's already illegal to practice medicine without a license. The practice of medicine is very heavily regulated, so even a real diploma does not permit anyone to practice medicine illegally. And the fact is that more people are killed every day by incompetent doctors with "real MDs," which doesn't seem to bother Gollin at all.
But the interesting thing to me is that we now are seeing how Gollin's "diploma mill expert" scam is really working. According to the complaint, Gollin knew that St. Luke was not a mill and that it was being shaken down by the Liberians. He knew their accreditation had been revoked because they hadn't paid bribes and not because the school was fake. And he knew St. Luke had obtained judgments against the Liberians on this very issue. Yet despite that knowledge Gollin continued to broadcast the lie that St. Luke was a mill.
So it's not just the absent-minded professor who got tricked by those clever Liberian crooks. Rather, it is as we all had long surmised, a devious little weasel bent on self-promotion who was trying to boost his own lame career as a "mill buster" at the expense of some insignificant (to him) black Christians.
Now, of course, when you are a "PhD" (even one with a laughable 16-person collaboration of a dissertation), and when you are an "expert" (even one whose title is wholly self-bestowed), nobody is going to believe that you don't know exactly what is going on. When your own resume plainly states (on page 2) that you are employed as a "consultant" to the corrupt Liberian regime, you are pretty much admitting that you are bought and paid for.
So as the facts begin to emerge it becomes increasingly clear that Gollin really is the lying scumbag we all suspected he was.
Now that Gollin has gotten Oregon taxpayers into the same deep crap as he has doused Illinois taxpayers in, I'd expect Oregon to be bringing some sort of cross-action against Illinois and Gollin for contribution. At some point don't Illinois taxpayers have to start asking whether they are paying $100K/year for a physics teacher or a $120 million lawsuit magnet?
And isn't this exactly the sort of thing that Oregon's AG foresaw in the Kennedy-Western case, when they required Gay Al to do remedial defamation law coursework? They knew it was just a matter of time before the fat pervert took a dump on a mill that wasn't a mill. Somebody in Oregon has to be asking whether Oregon even needs an ODA in the first place, let alone an adjudicated anti-Christian bigot and civil rights violator to run it.

First Amended Complaint Wrote:Gollin was aware, as of April 2007, that SLSOM had obtained two defaults against Liberia as set forth above.
Gollin knew SLSOM was a victim of this Liberian bribery/extortion/shakedown racket--but continued to spread lies about SLSOM. And in fact boasted that he intended to put them out of business.
What a sordid picture this paints. I might have given some thought to the possibility that gollin was just an idiot and a dupe.
But if this allegation is true it shows he is an evil, malicious, hateful excuse for a human being. I'm seeing a very clear picture of a guy who was desperately obsessed with promoting himself and his own interests, even in complete disregard of the truth and common decency.
I see why Gollin uses dehumanizing terms like "monsters" and "sons of bitches" to describe his victims. It makes it easier for him to justify his own inhumanity. This isn't just socialism run amok, it's evil on the prowl, and it needs to be terminated.
BTW, lest someone try re-writing history again, Gollin's CV is attached below. Note particularly at page two:
