Complaint Wrote:48. ...They saw the computers, new microscopes, new library books, Internet service, SLSOM's online curriculum, and new classroom tables and chairs. The paint on each wall was fresh. ...The reporters saw that all the rooms and laboratories were wired for electricity and all bathrooms were plumbed. Many commented that the facilities were much better than A. M. Dogliotti's facilities (the University of Liberia's medical school), which did not have microscopes or other laboratory equipment at all.
These lame ass "mill busters" like Huffman don't have a clue what goes on in third world countries. The basics that people take for granted in the US don't even exist there. There seems to be this attitude among them that it can' be a "real" school because it doesn't have a gym, a student union, a football stadium, co-ed dorms with condom machines, a multi-billion dollar endowment and all the other cool things you need to have at a western-style taxpayer funded universities.
Dr. Dolphin proudly (and justifiably so) asserts his facility had electrical wiring and plumbed bathrooms. Not much to brag about compared to some fancy pants private university or even your local JC, but an extraordinary accomplishment in a bottom tier third world country. It takes no small amount of effort to create such a facility, and as discussed in the complaint, damage and destruction from the civil war required repair and replacement several times over.
Under such difficult circumstances it seems surprising that any of his grads ever passed medical boards. That, in fact, 88% overall did demonstrates either that passing medical boards isn't quite as difficult as you might think or that SLSOM was doing an extraordinary job educating its students under the most dire conditions imaginable.
Some people might look at Dr. Dolphin's accomplishments and say, "Whoever did this showed great courage and made a tremendous sacrifice. What a great opportunity for our people."
Unfortunately, Liberia's criminal politicians looked at it and said, "Whoever did this must have money. What a great opportunity for a shakedown."
And for his trouble Dr. Dolphin not only got sentenced to hide-and-seek accreditation hell by his own countrymen, but called a criminal by some ignorant, self-promoting American hack too lazy or incompetent to verify the back fence gossip and hearsay he was fed by the Liberian shakedown team.
I see why Gollum hasn't posted on DD since this became public. Too busy promoting himself to feign even a perfunctory interest in humanity. How can this fool ever show his face in public again? CHEA ought to demand his resignation, UIUC ought to demand his resignation, and the Guggenheimers ought to ask for their book money back.
