The Extension school does confer degrees, though. Are those people not Harvard alum?

No they are not.

So what do you call the people who receive a bachelor or masters from HES?

Exactly. If a degree is conferred from Harvard the person has a degree from Harvard. An alumnus is someone who has a degree from or even just attended a school. Seems like this is an ego issue for folks admitted in non-extension programs. If they feel this dilutes the cache of their degree they should take it up with Harvard to better differentiate the extension school degrees *shrug*

It’s so corrupt, just a cash cow and way of further padding their exorbitant alumni donations. In this case from people who would never be admitted on their own merits and are not getting an authentic Harvard education.

No, it’s not an ego issue. It’s an attempt to help you not look like a fool. When the interviewer asks you about Harvard and you reveal it’s a silly four course virtual program, you just lost all credibility.

You’re acting like this isn’t a Harvard sponsored thing. Sorry you personally feel the Harvard name is cheapened by the extension school, but it’s really a “you” issue.
