there are lots of valuable resources at Extension and personally, you're overall disregard for the program is your own viewpoint
Well, I made factual statements and did not express an opinion on HES as such, much less show "disregard". If the facts I stated are incorrect or paint an inaccurate picture of HES, a correction would of course be welcome.

My opinion is that HES is a fine thing that serves many purposes for its students, faculty and institution. That does not change the fact that HES is very different from Harvard College or Harvard GSAS, a difference that HES carefully avoids in its marketing literature, but is nonetheless well-known to anyone familiar with the institution. I don't think it serves anybody to praise the wonders of HES without making that difference clear; nobody should pay for an HES degree thinking they are getting an equivalent of what the general population understands as a "Harvard degree".
