Tyra Banks has been catching a lot of flack lately from a smattering of media outlets concerning her Harvard “Business School degree.” Jenna Sauers of Jezebel called out the model mogul, saying Ms. Banks has made several misleading statements
regarding the nature of the program she enrolled in, suggesting that she was actually a student at Harvard Business School. While Ty-Ty did indeed attend classes on the Harvard Business campus, she was never a student in the traditional sense. She attended a certificate course at the university called the Owner/President Management Program, which does not award participants a degree of any kind upon completion. In response to media claims that she consciously misrepresented herself, Tyra Banks’s people released the following statement: “Tyra has always been open and honest about the Owner/President Management Program that she attended and completed – a program taught as three one-month, 6-days-a-week sessions over the course of three years – at Harvard Business School and this has been well documented in many respected news outlets, including stories running as recently as two days ago in USA Today, Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly to name a few. Tyra is extremely proud of this accomplishment and rightly so – graduating from this program was a major feat and she continues to be an inspiration to people around the world.” What do you think? Does Tyra deserve to be called out?
