“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,” wrote University President Christina Paxson in an article that appeared in the school’s paper, the Brown Daily Herald.
This past Thursday (Sept. 24), Fordham University and Marquette University took back the degrees awarded to Cosby, the first time either school has had to do so. Notably, Brown is the first Rhode Island institution to ever rescind a degree.
