Baylor University – as well as Brown University – have decided to revoke the honorary degree given to Cosby in 2003.
The university, located in Waco, TX, says, “acts of interpersonal and sexual violence” goes against all that they believe in.

According to Page Six:
Troubles returned to the school in the central Texas city of Waco this year when a Baylor football player was sentenced by a Texas judge in August to six months in jail and 10 years’ probation for sexually assaulting another student in 2013.
We can see why the “Christian-valued” university is quick to make this decision.
