Sounds akin to Trump University



You are right, Trump Uni is equal to Harvard. Glad we got that straight.

It’s still a Harvard degree. But make no bones about it — it’s not Harvard College. You can’t even transfer INTO Harvard College from HES.


Then your beef is with Harvard itself, right, as they not only allow but promote this, no doubt to bring in more $$

If I get a Harvard or Princeton online degree, damn straight I’m going to use it in any way I can. Why not? It’s bought and paid for!

Exactly. And, FYI, the actual degree programs are tough.

No, you’re just too lazy or cheap to do the same.

He went to Georgetown. I know you really, really, really wish he'd gone to some random state school but it was GEORGETOWN.

The grifter obsessed with smearing the Harvard president is a Georgetown alum living in Washington state who relatively recently bought an online master’s degree from Harvard’s open-admit extension school. But he deceptively and compulsively called himself a Harvard alum, failing to disclose his precise degree and that it was from the largely online extension school with essentially no admissions standards.

He even used the phrase “night school” to imply he was dashing through the snow in Cambridge after work, when in fact it was an online program he did from home in Washington state. lol. Obviously all an attempt to confer unearned status and smarts.

If you live in Washington state, why wouldn’t you do a program at UW? Because he wanted to buy a phony Harvard degree, right? I assume anyone with one of these bonus Ivy degrees is trying to defraud people.



Apparently, you don't know that most Harvard grads were appalled by her selection to begin with (she never had the academic record or professional experience to be inaugurated) and are greatly relieved she resigned. All of my Harvard friends stopped giving. I am in the process of pulling my gift to the law school.

At issue is using weasel words to misrepresent the credential i.e. deception.



cont. "I have no gripe at all with extension school -- I proudly and happily teach in it; I admire and respect the students and I love talking with them. Extension school does great service to education. My gripe is with people who try to pass themselves off as something they are not."
