New York University has quietly removed Bill Cosby’s name from a film workshop intended for local high school students, The New York Times reported Thursday. The school’s decision came two months after court documents revealed that the comic admitted to drugging women in order to have sex with them.
With little notice, NYU removed Cosby’s name from a website promoting its Future Filmmakers Workshop at some point over the last two weeks.
NYU spokesman Matt Nagel told the Times that the university “removed the Cosby name in light of recent events,” declining to comment further. Cosby’s publicist told the newspaper that he would not offer comment on the school’s decision.
Other universities that have distanced themselves from the comedian include Spelman College, Central State University in Ohio, High Point University, and Temple University, where Cosby stepped down from the board of trustees. Disney’s Hollywood Studios also removed a statue of Cosby from its theme park in July.
It will now be “The Fat Albert High School of Film”.

Call me crazy but I feel very sad about his wife Camille and how betrayed she must feel. Obviously she knew he was a womanizer all these years and made a choice to stay, She probably also wanted to continue the work of the foundation they’d started and the black art they collected and donated to museums. But to learn he was committing crimes against women to have sex with them must be unbearable.
