Cosby Loses His Honorary Degree

Drexel University rescinded their honorary degree to Bill Cosby because Cosby no longer embodied the values and high mindedness of people to whom you arbitrarily grant fake degrees. Also, he had a shitload of overdue library books. Drexel cited the release of sworn testimony by Cosby that he picked up roofies for use in making his dates go better. Before that deposition, it was just 100 women claiming Dr. Huxtable liked to knock them out and spooge on their lifeless corpse like bodies. You can’t demand your plaque back on that flimsy evidence.

Cosby has a dozen or more of these honorary college degrees. Perhaps it’s time for these colleges to only pass out degrees to students who complete their school work and face a future of working at Red Lobster and moving back in with their parents. Less so to people with successful sitcoms. Nobody’s going to fault you if some art history major down the road turns out to be a rage killer. Ted Bundy isn’t described as University of Washington serial killer Ted Bundy. They only announce your alma mater at your arrests if you play in the NFL. It used to mean something to be a Drexel graduate. Like you got into your safety school.
