Spelman College Becomes Latest School to Cut Ties with Cosby

HeadlineJul 27, 2015

And Spelman College, a historically black women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia, has discontinued a professorship endowed by Bill Cosby, becoming the latest in a series of universities to cut ties after at least 40 women accused Cosby of sexual assault. Spelman’s move came about a week after the release of a 2005 deposition in which Cosby admits to drugging women. Meanwhile, New York magazine published a cover story on Sunday featuring the faces and words of 35 of Cosby’s alleged victims. And the California Supreme Court has cleared the way for a civil lawsuit against Cosby filed by Judith Huth, who accuses Cosby of sexually assaulting her when she was 15 years old.
