Kevin Stitt, holder of Bachelor’s degree, wears PhD regalia to Harroz inauguration

12:56 PM EDT on September 22, 2021

Late last week, OU officially inaugurated Joseph Harroz as the next president of the University of Oklahoma.

A proud minion of the disgraced David Boren, his role will be to continue the fine OU presidential tradition of serving, protecting and prying money away from the Oklahoma ruling class and its wealthy elites, and making sure the University remains a somewhat suitable education destination for their kids who aren't smart enough to make it at more prestigious out-of-state institutions. Or something like that.

After the event, I got a second-hand tip via the Ogle Mole Network that before the inauguration, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt – the owner of a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Oklahoma State University – threw a minor hissy fit over his wardrobe, demanding his handlers get him fancier, more distinguished regalia that's usually reserved for people who earned Master's Degrees and/or PhDs.
