It is interesting how the anger here is directed at imagined wrong statements tearing down HES, personal speculations about motives, etc, but not the actual (and apparently factually correct) statements that were posted.
siserune, please stop acting like your Galileo being attacked by the Inquisitor. I challenged your positions directly while likewise questioning your motives because of your complete lack of information concerning HES.

The woman you cited has about a dozen versions of her resume posted on the internet: speaker bios at conferences, several versions of the CV on her own website, CMU faculty listing, etc. None of these documents contains the words "Extension School" or "Extension Studies", which are what appear on the ALB diploma. It is easy to find documents where she or CMU advertise her connections to Harvard and MIT, but none where they indicate that the Harvard connection was to HES.

HES, on the other hand, proudly lists her as an alumna, and HES/DCE web sites are the only places where one can find her Extension affiliation mentioned. So it seems the love runs only in one direction.

This pattern is absolutely typical, as you can see by performing a web search for "ALB Harvard" and count how the hits go down when you add the words "Extension School" or "Extension Studies". Lots of CVs with the first come up, but almost none come up that explicitly list the affiliation to the Extension School. This is different from all the other schools at Harvard; people with certificates from the Education or Divinity schools (not exactly the height of prestige or admissions difficulty by Harvard grad school standards) almost always list those schools along with the degree. It is different with the Extension School.

List of grads from the West Penn Harvard Club. She is listed on page 12, middle row. It clearly states her school as Extension. But this is beyond the point, sis. the point is that noting that you received your bachelors from the Extension School is as unnecessary as any student mentioning they received their BA from Harvard College or their MA from Harvard Graduate School. I don’t see why this is such a difficult notion for you to grasp.

The Harvard Gazette mentions the graduates of both the ALB and ALM programs every year.

Harvard Magazine always includes Extension alumni if you were to search out their website:
David Burzillo, A.L.M. ’92

Harvard Club of the UK
It seems that they even let ALB grads run the clubs design:

Andrew Horwitz ALB 1993

Harvard College Law Society:
It seems that they let John H. Silva publish in their journal and affiliate himself with the Extension School without prejudice.

Shall I continue Siserune? It seems that you have no more points to make. Harvard shows love to their Extension students.
