OSU Trustees To Decide Whether To Rescind Cosby's Honorary Degree

deadline.com

Ohio State University's Board of Trustees is expected to vote Friday to rescind the honorary Doctor of Education degree awarded to Bill Cosby during commencement ceremonies in 2001.  

The move would be a first for the school. Brown, Baylor and George Washington Universities, along with Oberlin College have already done so. Cosby is being tried this week on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women over the course of several decades. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
