If Bill Cosby thought that he was going to get off scot-free after accusations of him drugging and raping various women through out the years, he was completely wrong. Although most of the cases are too old for courts to prosecute him, he is being rescinded multiple honourary degrees given to him by American universities.
The latest? Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts withdrew an honourary doctorate of arts given in 2000, as well as an award given in 2011 for excellence in children’s media. Yoh.
The other one is Baltimore’s Goucher College which revoked an honourary degree given to Cosby in 2001.
Other schools include Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University which rescinded an honourary degree given in 2005 and Fordham, Marquette, Baylor and Pennsylvania’s Wilkes University. What’s worse is that The University of Massachusetts-Amherst also has cut ties with Cosby – who earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in education there.
Cosby also resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University in Philadelphia.
I wonder if he’s taking those certificates down from his office wall.
