Here are the 13 schools of Harvard University.
- Harvard College
- Harvard Business School
- Harvard Dental School
- Harvard Divinity School
- Harvard Extension School
- Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
- Harvard Graduate School of Design
- Harvard Graduate School of Education
- Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
- Harvard Kennedy School
- Harvard Law School
- Harvard Medical School
- Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Graduates from the other 12 schools can list their degrees as being from 'Harvard University' without any problems.
However, graduates of the Harvard Extension School must list their degree as from the "Harvard Extension School," which seems like unnecessary discrimination.
As sanantone has pointed out, it's Harvard itself that discriminates against Extension students by forcing them to write their resumes like that. If the University that grants you the degree is discriminating against you, how can you blame the public for thinking there is something "different" about the Extension school vs the other Harvard schools? Pretty sure this is all a nothingburger if Harvard stops with all the weird degree naming and strange resume formats it forces upon Extension students.
I mean, if you read the article, Rufo can't even say "I have a Master's degree from Harvard University" (which is the truth) without getting bashed by the public. If I ever get a degree from Harvard Extension, I would at least want to say to employers I am a Harvard grad without feeling I am lying through my teeth.
