The New Republic: “On paper, conservative activist Christopher Rufo presents his credentials as impeccable: Georgetown University for undergrad and “a master’s from Harvard."

At the very least, that's a little misleading.”

Rufo is correct. Harvard Extension School (HES) requires a student to take 2 courses with a grade of B or better. HES isn't for everyone.

You are right! And by that extension (pun intended) Gay was running a grift program.

Harvard is clear on how to transparently detail the extension program degree, but scam artists earn (read buy) the degree and then predictable try to dupe people and employers that they have a hyper selective Harvard degree, and not the extension degree mill variety anyone can buy.

Supermodel Tyra Banks did this back in the day. She even showed cap and gown style pics / clips (years ago) at her Harvard Graduation without mentioning it was a certificate.

Tyra Banks got one of these degrees in 2012.

Harvard is running the shop. Who is to say their standard is watered down? I mean, their own prez is a cheating, lying, mediocre scholar. Where did this idea the students are held to a higher standard?

[Anonymous]

So why is Harvard awarding a scam degree, if indeed it is such?

This doesn’t change the fact that the former president of Harvard is a serial plagiarist.
Don’t shoot the messenger.

Have you not heard that their prez is a lying plagiarist? It's a scam school with a professional scammer at the top.

The grifter obsessed with smearing the Harvard president is a Georgetown alum living in Washington state who relatively recently bought an online master’s degree from Harvard’s open-admit extension school. But he deceptively and compulsively called himself a Harvard alum, failing to disclose his precise degree and that it was from the largely online extension school with essentially no admissions standards.

He even used the phrase “night school” to imply he was dashing through the snow in Cambridge after work, when in fact it was an online program he did from home in Washington state. lol. Obviously all an attempt to confer unearned status and smarts.

If you live in Washington state, why wouldn’t you do a program at UW? Because he wanted to buy a phony Harvard degree, right? I assume anyone with one of these bonus Ivy degrees is trying to defraud people.

She didn’t need any help smearing herself. She did a fine job all on her own!

Because it's not a scam.

So Harvard's antisemitic plagiarist president was in charge of awarding fake degrees.

A lot of MBA programs are like this. You can get an "Executive MBA" which allows you to work and you take classes on weekends. The diploma looks exactly the same as the diploma a full-time MBA receives, and it's the same courseworks and often same instructors. Harvard Extension seems similar.
