Eventually, I would like to see this list reflect degrees, rather than "Class of XXXX." With a brief key explaining that Rutgers used A.B. (Latin name of the Bachelor of Arts) instead of B.A., and the like just can't remember the year they switched over. —ExplorerCDT 16:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm starting to add some references because it seems appropriate to do that for a list like this. I've seen some lists of alumni/faculty/important people that seem unbelievable and without a reference, you wouldn't believe that that person actually attended that school. So, where I can find them, I'll add some references, though this isn't necessarily the highest of priorities. Metros232 18:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hilary Duff took a class at Harvard's Extension School (essentially Harvard's version of the on-line school; think University of Phoenix but with Harvard's brand name). Nobody would mistake these folks for Harvard alumni and most students who attend Harvard Extension School do it for their own interest and not to boost their resumes by adding the "Harvard" name to it. Since Hilary probably does not have the time or opportunity to attend college, she figures this is her next best option. Teknosoul02 03:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • She's also a mental midget who got caught saying she was a harvard alumnus. Don't make excuses for her. —ExplorerCDT 03:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
If that's the case, then shame on her for misleading people. Of course, this is not the first time that's happen as numerous people who attended Harvard Extension School claim that they are Harvard alumni. (Rolls eyes). Teknosoul02 14:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Trust me, I know several politicians that try to get away with that shit. —ExplorerCDT 17:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
