Um, doesn’t seem like folks are saying “don’t list it.” Simply list it in the way the school directs the recipient to do. Rufo didn’t hence the criticism as well as speculation for his motives in failing to do so.

Grubby wannabes who seek out HARVARD Extension School are the exact type of deceptive weasels who would purposely never actually list it correctly.

Harvard Extension School is great but it does not equal Harvard College. Harvard is clear that people should list it differently on their resumes. It's ridiculous to claim that they are the same.

I know a kid who was set on Harvard but did not have anywhere close to the grades or scores. He did not apply to a single college but later enrolled in Harvard Extension School. Of course, he listed it incorrectly, trying to pass himself off as going to Harvard College. Sad actually.

Imagine going to an alumni cocktail event and you bump into a creepy online Extension School grad wearing head to toe HARVARD apparel, with HARVARD on his LinkedIn, Facebook, and company profile, HARVARD license plate frame on his car...and he who spent all of literally two weeks on campus. Reminds me of Joey on Friends pretending to own a Porsche.

Only about half of the Extension School faculty have any affiliation to Harvard University. None of the credits can be transferred into Harvard. It is not the same, as Rufo claims.

I remember Danny Boice liked to tell everyone (including the press) that he had gone to Harvard when he had only taken some certification type course that you just have to sign up to take (not sure if that is an extension school course, but it's not Harvard College).

He's serving 8 years in prison now for fraud.

Extension schools are great for so many reasons. It's just that if one is going to make it their mission to take down someone - "scalped" as he said - for allegedly dishonest work, then it seems that one's house should be in order. And it's not.

What's the problem? It seems like if you go to the website, they make it pretty clear that they're all one big happy family:

https://extension.harvard.edu/about/#:~:text=We%20are%20a%20fully%20accredited,of%20the%20Harvard%20Alumni%20Association.

We are a fully accredited Harvard school. Our degrees and certificates are adorned with the Harvard University insignia. They carry the weight of that lineage. Our graduates walk at University Commencement and become members of the Harvard Alumni Association.

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.

Apparently they receive the same Harvard degree. Guy did not hide it. Your version got "community noted" on X.
