Bill Cosby Sentenced 3-10 Years In Prison

Yale University is taking back the honorary degree they presented to Bill Cosby amid the sexual assault retrial that found the 80 year-old guilty of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand and a slew of other women. This is the first time the Ivy League school has ever revoked a titular plaudit in their 300 year history.

The prestigious honour was awarded to the disgraced comedian back in 2003. "The decision is based on a court record providing clear and convincing evidence of conduct that violates fundamental standards of decency shared by all members of the Yale community, conduct that was unknown to the board at the time the degree was awarded," the school revealed in a statement.

"The board took this decision following Mr. Cosby's criminal conviction after he was afforded due process. Yale is committed to both the elimination of sexual misconduct and the adherence to due process. We reaffirm that commitment with our action today."

"We haven't previously rescinded an honorary degree," admits Yale spokesman Thomas Conroy.

The school was founded in 1701, and has since been recognized for their academic excellence and innovations fostered within their campus.

Shortly after Cosby's conviction, Carnegie Mellon University, Notre Dame and Temple University similarly took back their honorary degrees given to the former Cosby Show star in an act of solidarity against sexual violence.

Yale has had hundreds of sex scandals. Now all of a sudden they have a morality stance. This is about race not justice.

All waz quiet to until he did that stand up routine then all of a sudden they all come out of the wood works with these accusations.why wait until then? Why couldn't they come forth earlier in the 90s or the early 2000s

This shit was back in the courts and in public eye before he made that one joke. Before the Hannibal Burress joke got on youtube Cosby got roasted on twitter because whoever runs his twitter page did "Make a meme of Cosby" and people made a bunch of memes referencing him being a rapist.

If I recall correctly, white America was calling for America entertainers that were paid to perform for Gaddafi to return the money.

We should be consistent, yes?
