Statement on Rescinding Honorary Degree

December 16, 2015

Communications Staff

To the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community:

At the December 4, 2015 meeting of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College’s commitment to supporting survivors of sexualized violence, as reflected in its sexual misconduct policy, and do not epitomize the high standards ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï considers in awarding honorary degrees.
