Bill Cosby lost yet another honorary degree Monday, this time from Brown University.

It was the first time the Rhode Island institution ever rescinded an honorary degree, a top official told the Brown Daily Herald, the university’s newspaper.

It was the third honorary degree stripped from Cosby in recent weeks amid an ongoing scandal that he drugged and sexually assaulted more than 50 women.

What about that other "Bill"?

Isn't a Hot Cosby" pretty much the same as a "Hot Clinton"?

It was an interesting insight that MLK particularly loved to beat and assault white prostitutes especially.

Just like Jimi Hendrix: he preferred to beat white women if he was given the choice.

“Bill Cosby lost yet another honorary degree...”

DAMN! (Speaking like a total rube) What is one them-there ornery degrees? I want one to. Billy-Bob down the street got one from a mail order catalog and Ruby Mae found one in a trash can. Now, me...I wants one of dem thangs since I saw the Wizzzzzard of Ozzzzz got one and he didn’t even have to go to scoooool. (end of hick talk)

Honorary degrees are a total farce and stand as nothing more than a piece of paper for they are given to people of notoriety and fame in lieu of having to go to College for 4 to 8 years and are for political purposes only.

Sounds racist to me. After all, Brown was named for a slavetrader.

Who writes the English for these headlines? ‘Brown University rescinds honorary degree FROM Bill Cosby’....

How about ‘degree given to’ or ‘degree granted to’ ...

Amazing... amazingly bad...

A once great university, now a hot bed of hard left PC thought. They’re doing Bill Cosby a favor since their “degree” is not worth much more than toilet paper.
