[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…list Harvard or Wharton as their alma mater and when you scroll down, you realize they’ve just taken one of those online classes but claim to have gone to that school.

It has happened more often than not. Recently, we had a new hire who is telling people he went to Wharton when he only did a Coursera course!

It really irritates me because it is simply misleading and not reality!! I can’t even imagine how people who have gone to one of those schools and gotten an actual degree feel when they see that. [/quote]

The new hire telling people he went to Wharton, sure - that is annoying and misleading.

The others, not so much. Like you say yourself in your post, it's clear on their LinkedIn profile what course/program they actually took.  The icon that appears up top is more driven by LinkedIn functionality.   If they took an online Harvard program and their LinkedIn says they took that Harvard online program, I'm certainly not bothered by anything. [/quote]
