Look at the way you describe HES. As an open admissions community college? The degree programs have a formal admissions process. Why do you make it seem as if HES is so seperate from Harvard University. It is not. It is seperate from Harvard College. It is part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. What part of this are you not getting? It is mainly opinion and a myriad of misconceptions that you are working on here. Even getting into Harvard College through the Special Student Program requires a pretty rigourous process.
The fact that you compare it to a community college not affiliated with the university is absurd. A student who went through the admissions process and earned degree candidacy can say without "fudging the truth", that he attends Harvard University. If he attains special student status and attends classes at Harvard College, doing the same coursework as a traditional student, he can properly say that he attends Harvard College.
All you are doing siserune is demeaning the work of the students at HES. Offer some proof. I have yet to see you offer any proof. You're just all talk without offering anthing to back up your bark.
The Extension School know that students do not have to put Extension School on their resume just like some Harvard grads do not specify Harvard College or that they got their MA in Harvard Grad School. Harvard University is just fine.

There's the fudging: "HES grads". The overwhelming majority of HES grads who go to top programs already have bachelor's degrees before reaching HES; they are there for master's degrees or language study or pre-med courses that will enhance an existing degree. My statement specifically referred to the bachelor's degrees (and apparently also includes associate degrees, though I doubt those are recognized for graduate admission). You are welcome to show us how it is foolish, or in any way wrong:

Where is this proof? Show me. Because I will show you some examples of people without a BA who went on to some top programs:

Flip through any of these profiles and you will see that these people had no bachelors before entering HES. They got into NYU STERN MBA, Harvard Divinity, Carnegie Mellon MBA.

The list goes on and I can keep going but it would fill an entire post. I would just hope that you get the picture instead of spreading more falsehoods. The biggest thing that HES has to offer is its record of placing ALB grads into top grad schools. Yes, grads without a BA or BS from another school.
