Well, it isn’t a real Harvard degree. Dr. Jordan Peterson started his undergraduate career at Grand Prairie Regional College in Northern Alberta, and though he eventually went on to the prestigious places later, the brains and ability to learn in a podunk regional college were already there. My wife is from the Grand Prairie area, and my brother-in-law started at Grand Prairie Regional College (he is just shy of genius level in the IQ department, and he found the school to be just fine, too).

I have attended schools of almost every kind, from New England Prep Schools to the University of Chicago to a tiny fledgling private run Catholic college that takes no government money to a state university law school to a tiny Catholic seminary not known for its academics to the same private college that Tucker Carlson attended.

In every single one of them, there were exceptional teachers and bozo teachers and ones in between. I was even able to learn in most of the classes that had bozo teachers if I had a mind to.

So yes, the Extension is not the same as a Harvard Degree, but I would take a Harvard “Extension” Degree with no plagiarism over a “real” Harvard Degree that came with cheating and the racial equivalent of the free “Gentleman’s ‘C’”.

My husband had numerous degrees from a number of prestigious universities including U Penn and UCLA (studied physics there).

He said the hardest college he went to was a seminary in South Carolina.

Truth!
Plus Gay was a one woman DEI wrecking crew before she stumbled upstairs into the Harvard presidency. Haitian derived Gay has been poisonous for years at Harvard.

Talk about yr black supremacism! Fire and get rid of whites and bring in dunderhead blacks to replace them. DEI is pure black racism. That gets a big assist from guilt ridden white lib power brokers. Such as the horrible Penny Pritzker who is worth 3 billion or so. She heads up the Harvard board that installed Gay for the top Harvard job.

I beg to differ with you Dr. Sivana. A degree from HES is a real Harvard degree. The Extension School is one of the four schools of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. FAS is the intellectual center of the University. Harvard also has 12 professional and graduates schools, e.g. law, business,design. They all give Harvard degrees, even the uber liberal Kennedy School gives a Harvard degree and - gasp - even accepts students from the HES to their graduate program. Students in HES can benefit from and listen to the same regular professors who lecture in other schools that are part of the university. And I have to say, Harvard does have some spectacular faculty who deliver superb lectures.
