[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know he took the back door. He knows it. Harvard Lite.

Pathetic. [/quote]

Harvard is selling out, that's what's pathetic. Cheapening their own brand.[/quote]

The Harvard extension school has been around in some form (used to be called the Lowell Institute) since the mid 1800s and was seen as a community service--a way to provide access to continuing education for those who couldn't afford or be admitted to Harvard.[/quote]

A lot of schools have these programs. They are nothing new. The schools are happy to take the money and give out the degrees and certificates. But it's always funny, and a bit lame, when people buy the sweatshirts and act like proud alumni when sometimes they never set foot on campus. But that also doesn't make it a lie or misrepresentation. If the schools were worried about the association they would do something about it. The outrage about Rufo is weird.[/quote]

Don't think there would be much outrage if he himself didn't traffic in it. He opened himself up to this scrutiny by going after someone he saw as dishonest, etc. By doing so, folks were, in turn, going to investigate him. That's how journalism works. This wouldn't be a story if he hadn't been disingenuous about his graduate degree.[/quote]
