you're wasting your time.
Sour grapes, sore loser...that's all the support you might get from mainstream media or court system.
Of course if big guys turn a blind eye to who their pet 'experts' are, because they are equally corrupt, it may be interesting to let the general public at large to know what lurks behind carefully polished internet personae and glossy interviews or magazine articles.
There, too, you can inform only those who have an interest in being informed.
Those who seem to gain 20kg of rock hard muscle by typing 'dr.Gollin' or
'our international degree-mill expert, author dr. John Bear' are lost causes anyways.
Gollin got a seat at CHEA; Bear sold his books, so what would they care of their chorus of expendable supporters?
A perfect example of buying their degree through athletics is a young man who worked for me at a local hospital. He came with his BS and MS from Bowling Green and could not spell the word hospital. Come to find out he went there on a basketball 100% scholarship. They bought him a new car, did all of his school work for him and he, like George Dana Gollin, George D. Gollin, AKA George Gollin was an educated idiot.
