Rufo went to Harvard Extension School, so Harvard grads are saying that's not a real Harvard degree.

[Dr. Sivana]

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’”.

You are only a real Ivy League alum if your Bachelor’s degree is from an Ivy League University.

If you go to Random State for your Bachelor’s degree and then to, for example, Harvard Business School for your MBA, that doesn’t really count.

When I went to High School, I would have been expelled for plagiarizing a paper. When I was in a real college (not Harvard), I would have been banned from the University (not that my University was any less than Harvard_. It appears that a Harvard degree certificate is not much more than very expensive wall paper.

That must be written “the prolific BLACK plagiarist”

The Plagiarism and her thesis approval are the result of being BLACK

I respect a Harvard Physics/Math type degree.
The rest?
Bwahahahahahahahahah.

Not a “Havard” degree. I would think that would be considered a good thing. Who would want a diploma with a picture of Davy Hogg’s Treehouse on the Charles on it?

[Joe 6-pack]

Haaahvud credentials are only prestigious if the bearer tows the liberal line. Jerome Corsi is a Harvard PhD but his exposure of John Kerry’s swiftboat hijinks makes Corsi a right wing nutter whose academic accomplishments are never mentioned.

The website for Harvard’s Extension School advertises their programs as the real thing:

“A Harvard University degree program that is flexible and customizable.”

Rufo got a real degree from Harvard Extension! He did not just take a course or two. With the arbitrary DEI criteria used for Harvard undergraduate admissions nowadays, he deserves a lot of respect!

When Harvard returns to merit-based admissions, they can be proud of their regular undergraduates. Phooey to DEI admissions!
