"There is almost no overlap of faculty"

Well, no, this is not true. A significant number of classes are indeed taught by Harvard faculty.
My statement was quite true, as you might infer from the fact that the HES posters here have not challenged it (because it's accurate). If you check the HES faculty listing you will see that a rather slim fraction of the instructors are professors at Harvard. Instead, there are people with job titles like teaching assistant, instructor, preceptor, lecturer, etc --- jobs that are often filled by people without PhD's, much less Harvard tenure.

Moreover, to graduate from many HES degree programs, you do need to have taken a majority of courses taught by Harvard faculty.
To get a bachelor's degree from HES (the ALB) you need 52 of 128 credits in "Harvard instructor" courses, which are usually people in the non-professor categories I listed above. That is neither a majority nor much of an overlap.
