Spelman College Becomes Latest School to Cut Ties with Cosby 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
And Spelman College, a historically black women's college in Atlanta,
Georgia, has discontinued a professorship endowed by Bill Cosby,
becoming the latest in a series of universities to cut ties after at
least 40 women accused Cosby of sexual assault. Spelman's move came
about a week after the release of a 2005 deposition in which Cosby
admits to drugging women. Meanwhile, New York magazine published a cover
story on Sunday featuring the faces and words of 35 of Cosby's alleged
victims. And the California Supreme Court has cleared the way for a
civil lawsuit against Cosby filed by Judith Huth, who accuses Cosby of
sexually assaulting her when she was 15 years old.
