December 16, 2015

To the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ community:
At the December 4, 2015 meeting of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College Board of Trustees, the Board decided to rescind the honorary doctorate of humanities presented to Mr. William Cosby in 2010. Mr. Cosby’s admitted actions are not congruent with Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College’s commitment to supporting survivors of sexualized violence, as reflected in its sexual misconduct policy, and do not epitomize the high standards Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ considers in awarding honorary degrees.
