It’s well known, so of course noted by many posters.

Who actually advertises that Harvard delivers a good education for undergraduates?  That's not its purpose.[/quote]

Dean of Harvard College:  "We seek to provide students with a deeply transformative experience."

What's missing is that tenured professors may play a very small role in that experience.  Best to think of Harvard undergraduates as licensees rather than students. [/quote]

Why single out Harvard for this?  This is true of many schools.  The U.S. higher education system is largely set up with undergraduates as second class students fund faculty, administration, graduate students, and research.  [/quote]

Because that is Harvard's soft spot, and it's more pronounced there than at its traditional rivals.  When Nebraska cracks the US News Top 10, we can talk about how many courses are taught by grad students. [/quote]

Many top schools have classes taught by graduate students.[/quote]
