College Terminates Bill Cosby’s Professorship Programme

BIll Cosby

Bill Cosby has lost yet another partnership, this time a professorship he endowed at Spelman College.
The decision was announced by a university spokeswoman, Audrey Arthur.
Arthur stated that the college had terminated the program last year when the allegations had first surfaced, and had returned all fund’s to Cosby’s wife’s foundation, the Clara Elizabeth Jackson Carter Foundation.
Two of Bill Cosby’s daughters, Erika and Evin Cosby attended the college, and in 1988, Bill &Camille donated $20 million to the school.
The funds were used in part to build the Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Academic Center.
Several other colleges have also cut ties with Mr. Cosby in the last year, including his alma maters, Temple University, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
