The University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Columbia, with full support of the Board of Curators and at the urging of administrative and faculty leaders, has revoked Bill Cosby’s honorary degree.
Honorary degrees throughout the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ System are reserved for those who have ascended to the pinnacle of their fields while conducting themselves consistent with the university’s core values. The evidence presented during the recent criminal trial indicated that he engaged in behavior that is in direct conflict with the core values of the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.
We join 20 to 25 other universities in rescinding his honorary degree.
