Oregon ODA Hates Black People

[Virtual Bison]

A sad case including a Degreediscussion pile on.

How are black countries supposed to get ahead without racist Americans putting them down?

As I read through that entire thread it really astounds me how much of an arrogant son-of-a-bitch that Gollin is. Consider this reply...

That's absolutely ridiculous. ODA helped take down St. Regis and some of the University Degree Program mills. Rather than just wishing to have a regulatory body that you view as imperfect be destroyed in an expensive lawsuit (paid for by taxpayers), why not document your concerns in depth, and at length, and contact ODA to arrange for a (phone) meeting in which you make your case?

If you don't hear back from them, be persistent. I read some complaining not long ago in a post or two about the time it took to eceive (or not) a response. Contact them, and follow up.

It's been my experience that good information, properly organized and presented, can be very effective at bringing about good ends.

I don't think you want to have higher education oversight eliminated, since doing that makes it even more difficult to deal with clever, brazen mills that are out there in the world.

So keep at it, and insist on a response. How long did it take the DI folks and others to obliterate the St. Regis monster? Maybe 3 or 4 years. And lots of people were involved, sharing and moving information.

And whats more everyone else in that thread is, in so many words, telling Gollin that his planned witch hunt against Cherub College is off base. Even Bill Huffman...

There appear to be some misrepresentations in this thread.

First, no where on the ODA website that I can find does it say that Cherub College is a diploma mill. All it says is that they are located in the Bahamas and that degrees from there cannot be used in Oregon.

Second, there is no shakedown money. Sorry, but that is just plain ridiculous. If you read the ODA website you will see that if you want an unaccredited degree to be accepted in Oregon then you simply pay a reasonable investigation fee and they will do the analysis. There are many such exceptions listed on the ODA website where they did the investigation and the unaccredited degrees are accepted.

Of course Gollin will never admit that he is wrong. Never in 1000 years. And now that his BFF Contreras has retired he will be fresh out of friends in Oregon.

It seems that everyone, including those on DD are starting to realize how irrelevant Gollin has become. The only one who still believes in George Gollin is George Gollin.

Incidentally, the Oregon law, just like the law in Texas and elsewhere is pretty much a paper tiger. To tell anyone that they cannot use an educational experience on a resume is pretty much a violation of their constitutional rights. This may be why Oregon actually had to modify their law allowing graduates of non-accredited colleges and universities to list their education so long as they cite the accreditation status of the said institution.
