The interview comes after Pitts began sharing documents with media outlets to provide additional context about Bryant’s degree. The materials included a copy of Bryant’s diploma, a degree verification letter, an accreditation certificate, FedEx shipping information, and an email from Pitts stating that the doctorate “is not an honorary degree.”
