X community adds a context note to A.J. Delgado's post: Lawyer and political commentator A.J. Delgado posted "Hi, Harvard real-degree here. You're spot on. The 'extension school' is a source of laughter and annoyance for students and alumni. (I think Columbia has one, too -- same thing there.) It's basically an 'anyone can enroll, so long as you pay', no more stringent than a community college. No fucking way should they get to say they are Harvard alumni or have a Harvard degree." The post was part of a response to political activist Christopher Rufo claiming to have a master's degree from Harvard when he attended the extension school. The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. This is false. Harvard Extension School (HES) is a fully accredited Harvard School, with automatic membership to the Harvard Alumni Association. Admission is based on performance in three prerequisite degree courses, and it is targeted towards older age and distance students. extension.harvard.edu/about/#" The label is part of X’s Community Notes system.
