[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why does someone have a bee in their bonnet over what school from Harvard the degree comes from?[/b] How you get in matters less than what you do while there and what you do when you leave.  The degree itself is just paper.  It’s evidence that you have acquired a specific body of knowledge.  Harvard’s administration seems just fine with certifying that its Extension School conveys the appropriate knowledge and skills in its degree programs.  So much so that it grants the recipients all the same rights and distinctions as any other alumni, including stamping the degree with its seal.

Someone here seems weirdly concerned with Harvard’s reputation for reasons that seem to have nothing to do with academics.[/quote]

Have you not read the thread? The issue is hypocrisy over academic integrity. HES is open enrollment. The other schools are highly selective. If you don’t understand the difference in cohort quality and achievement associated with each form of matriculation you are either ridiculously dim or deliberately obtuse.[/quote]
