Baylor, Brown, Tufts, Drew, and Drexel Universities all have one thing in common; they are among the universities that have decided to rescind the honorary degrees given to Bill Cosby at one time. Now, George Washington University, located in the District of Columbia, can be added to the growing list (like the growing list of women accusing Cosby of sexual assault).

Cosby was awarded the honorary degree in 1997, and while last year, George Washington University claimed “honorary degrees are conferred at a moment in time, based on what the university knows about the honoree at that time. It has never been the university’s practice to rescind an honorary degree,” they have rescinded the honor.

Steven Knapp, George Washington University president, released a statement saying the degree “has become a cause of renewed distress for our students and alumni who are survivors of sexual assault.”

Darn shame.
