Forget what that "other" person said. If you have a degree, you have a degree. I get the same letters pleading for alumni donations that Eliot Spitzer gets.

Forget what that "other" person said. If you have a degree, you have a degree. I get the same letters pleading for alumni donations that Eliot Spitzer gets. It's unfortunate that there are some that cling to a model of social hierarchy that is predicated on beauty contests rather than actual objectively measurable achievement. I'm argue that someone who earned a degree from Harvard or Yale or Columbia that did the work and earned the grades deserves no less respect than someone who did all that AND passed an admissions process. That process is the only thing that TRULY separates the non-traditional from the tradition student.
