[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard is the absolute grift - they monetize the name to shake down all comers in the Extension school, while they keep the size of the "regular" student body far below what their endowment could afford, ensuring that demand will always far outstrip supply and that crazy parents will sell their kidney to get Larla into "real" Harvard. And they get tax breaks as an educational institution even though Harvard's primary raison d'etre is building its endowment.[/quote]

Meh, every school has their version of the "extension" school. Sometimes it's called continuing ed, at Columbia it's called general studies. All schools are looking to monetize but are also sensitive about diluting their brand. [/quote]

Eh. Harvard has the prestige to attract students to its extension school no matter what. The bottom tier Ivies have to ratchet of their "general studies" programs if they want to attract students.

That's why Columbia School of General Studies students sit in the same classes as other undergrads and get the same diploma as other undergrads. [/quote]

Yes this is correct[/quote]
