<p>There is an interesting exchange taking place over at the Harvard site. The topic is the quality of Harvard's undergraduate program. A Harvard Dean left the school citing a need for more undergraduate focus. Harvard boosters have reacted with name calling and insults to those voicing an opinion. What do you think?</p>

<p>you posted this on EVERY forum pretty much, and it's obvious no one cares, so get over it</p>

<p>this topic (or thought or idea) has kept raising time to time.</p>

<p>my opinion is perhaps harvard give less attention to UG than brown, top LACs, and so on.
but i dont think harvard doesn't care about UG.</p>

<p>i think they still pay a great amount of attention onto UG, but perhaps in a different way(research opportunities and so on), and in less extend than some other schools.</p>
