Spelman bids adieu to Bill Cosby professorship

Bill Cosby can’t escape bad news these days. After information from a lawsuit against him was leaked last week, Cosby’s worst year ever continues. Based off of what was revealed, it seems to be for good reason.

According to The Associated Press, top HBCU Spelman College has decided to end its relationship with Cosby and his wife Camille.

“Spelman told The Associated Press in a statement Friday that the college has parted ways with the 78-year-old actor and comedian. A deposition released this month shows the married father of five acknowledged he got sedatives to give to women before sex.”

The report also mentions that “the Cosby’s donated $20 million to the college in 1988.”

In addition to ending the endowed professorship, the college also returned “related funds to the Clara Elizabeth Jackson Carter Foundation,” a foundation started by Bill and Camille Cosby.

While Cosby hasn’t been charged with a crime, the details of the lawsuit seem to be good enough for Spelman, and other colleges, to severe ties with Cosby.

Temple, Amherst, and the University of Massachusetts, all schools that Cosby attended, have decided to part ways with the famous comedian.

Spelman, and all other educational institutions who have received money from Cosby, likely could continue to use the funds given to them. But it’s not worth the bad PR and the potential loss of current and future students. Spelman, a school for women, also has a social responsibility to uphold and considering what Cosby has been accused of, this move is warranted.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
