Bill Cosby has been stripped of his honorary degree from Brown University.
The Ivy League university is the third institution this week to rescind a doctorate awarded to the comedian in the wake of ? allegations.
Brown follows Fordham and Marquette universities who have also revoked honorary degrees from the 78-year-old.
Its President Christina Paxon said the university's board stripped Cosby of the doctorate of humane letters granted in 1985.
Paxon said the comedian received the degree for integrating his personal character into his fictional one while embracing such values as 'honesty, fair play, love of family, and respect for humanity.'
'It has become clear, by his own admission in legal depositions that became public this summer, that Mr. Cosby has engaged in conduct with women that is contrary to the values of Brown and the qualities for which he was honored by the University in 1985,' Paxon said in an email to the Brown community.

1. Honorary degrees are usually given due to moral reasons. Its not far fetched at all that Cosby simply admitting to spending decades getting high and cheating on his wife wouldn't have gotten these taken as well.
2. 2 consenting adults getting ? /high is different than ? a chick while she's passed out which it appears Cosby was doing. Even if you give a chick a pill and she willingly takes it if she passes out and you ? her that's ? . How hard is it to understand if she's passed out don't ? her? -
man they need to start returning those donations as well

What kills me is the same cats that are donning the cape for Pill, are the very same people that they were callin' Pill a ? for saying that black people needed to act better and hold ourselves to a higher standard. Dudes have really got ? ass backwards out here in the game. When the man is tryin' to put you on game and tryin' to give you information that could only improve your live, dudes aren't trying to hear it and they subject Pill to ridicule. However, when Pill is accused by nearly five dozen white women of ? then when they're unconscious, all of a sudden Pill gets all of the support in the world. Then again, we as a people, have this really bad habit of not only excusing, but condoning other black folks bad behavior.
I was listening to Tariq Nasheed's podcast and though I agree with a lot of the ? he says, dude was simply hollerin' some straight up ? when he said that all 55 women, (yeah the number of accusers have now went up, Bill Cosby sex assault accusers recount horrific encounters on A&E's 'Cosby: The Women Speak', http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/bill-cosby-sex-assault-accusers-recount-horrific-encounters-article-1.2365415, where tellin' ducktails.
55 chicks aren't all lying about Pill slippin' them some ludes. Are some of them lying? Yeah, but not all of them. Also I find it funny, that none of these chicks ever said that Pill did the ludes with them. Like somebody in the initial Pill Cosby thread, "who does drugs alone?" Unless of course, if you are alone. Just like Eddie Murphy and Mister C have a thing for ? freaks and man-? , Carlos Esteves has a thing for ? movie girls, Bill Maher has a thing for freaky nasty black chicks, Mel Albert has a thing for ? that would talk crazy to him and slap him up side the head, Prince has a thing for bad ? , and David Carradine had a thing for getting choked out while he was beating off, Pill Cosby had a thing for giving them ludes and ? semi or unconscious white women. The thing is how can people come to the defense of dude who willingly put himself in that situation? Also, if most of his accusers had been black, would they be donning the cape for Pill? -
Welp...fair or foul? Fair, he didnt earn em.

He took classes and wrote dissertations. If they gave him something because they like him then they can take it because now they dont like him. -

I can dig it. Are we to assume 'liking him' was the only criteria? -

Man this fake outrage is getting dumb if they really mad at Dr. Pill they'd give that bread back. Them ? politicians did it to Avon in the wire when Lester was tracking the money. So if they REALLY want to cut ties and denounce his actions/behavior kick that loot back. -
