Harvard Extension School Students Rally for Degree Name Change

[newdegree]

Sorry to hear you are going through this but you knew the type of degree you signed up for which was a Harvard Extension School degree which was clearly outlined as a Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) in Extension Studies , Field: XXX. People can’t play the victim when they knew what they signed up for , you as the student / customer had a choice to choose a different university if you didn’t like the degree or how the degree name sounded. There are so much other choices in education to select from. People attend Harvard Extension School to try to gain a back door to Harvard university and gain the prestige that is associated with it. Since the a university doesn’t not wish to acknowledge the degree as equivalent to their much harder schools to get into at the university people always want to say they are being discriminated against or treated different due to the degree they agreed to study with no strings attached. We all know Harvard extension school is the easiest Harvard school to get accepted to which has an open door policy for new students. They typically will allow students to be conditionally accepted and require them to take a few classes with an average of a B to gain full acceptance. Compared to the other schools at the university they have a competitive application process which vets out candidates in an intense selection process only allowing the best of the best to study at Harvard University. While it is great all the effort , time , and money you have put into rallying against Harvard , a class action lawsuit would never work even if you got a lawyer because it was originally clearly outlined under Your Harvard University Degree section on the website as well as multiple other sources. It is going to be hard to prove a case to any judge unfortunately and as you mentioned you will be going up against Harvards best lawyers which will probably not end well. Best of luck to you but in all reality it’s a topic you may want to move forward from. If you are unhappy with your degree you can always go study another one at a more respected university program.
