Bill Cosby Legacy Shattered!!!
The once beloved father on The Cosby’s, Bill Cosby Legacy Shattered in front of his eyes since two more colleges announced Thursday they have rescinded honorary degrees given to Bill Cosby.
CelebNMusic247.com has learned that Bill Cosby list of rescindance has been growning along with the number of allegations of sexual assault agianst him.
CelebNMusic247.com has learned the names of the two colleges adding to the list are Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, who withdrew an honorary doctorate of arts it conferred on Cosby in 2000, along with an award given in 2011 for excellence in children’s media.
The other college is Baltimore’s Goucher College, who also decided to revoke an honorary degree it gave to Cosby when he was commencement speaker in 2001.
Damn how embarrassing and all because Cosby was young dumb and horny, but went about it the wrong way. Now the 78-year-old comedian and sitcom star has fallen from grace. He admitted to extramarital relationships with several women, some of whom accuse him of sexual assault back in July of this year and now this.
Here is what PageSix reported about Bill Cosby’s Legacy being Shattered:
Cosby has never been charged with a crime. Thursday’s revocations came a day after Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University rescinded an honorary degree given in 2005.
Tufts’ board of trustees said in a statement it decided to withdraw the honor after concluding there was “a substantial basis” to discredit the accomplishments for which Cosby was recognized. The board said it took the step after “lengthy and serious consideration.”
Tufts President Anthony Monaco said in an email to the university community that Cosby has shown “a lack of character and integrity” that does not represent the school’s values.
Goucher President Jose Antonio Bowen said he and that school’s trustees met Wednesday and “unanimously decided that Cosby’s admitted actions are in direct violation of values Goucher holds dear, including our community principles of respect, communication, and responsibility.”
Bowen said:
“We must take a consistent stand against sexual misconduct and cannot accept Cosby’s conduct as consistent with our values.”
“Had this information been known at the time, I am confident Goucher would not have awarded this honor.”
In addition, Lehigh said earlier this week that Cosby’s admitted behavior was “inconsistent with the character and high standards” expected of honorees.
Several other schools, including Fordham, Marquette, Baylor and Pennsylvania’s Wilkes University, previously pulled their Cosby degrees.
In December, amid widening allegations, Cosby resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University in Philadelphia. The University of Massachusetts-Amherst also has cut ties with Cosby, who earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in education there.
