AceShowbiz - Bill Cosby's name has been removed from a communication building at a historically black university in Ohio. Central State University in Wilberforce said in a statement on Friday, September 11 that the Camille O. & William H. Cosby Communications Center was renamed the CSU Communications Center.
Back in July, the school decided to temporarily cover up Bill's name as sexual assault allegations against the 78-year-old comedian continued to mount. The star of "The Cosby Show" has donated more than $2 million to the university. In addition to CSU's decision, New York University has also removed Bill's name from a film workshop for high school students.
Bill's rape allegations have seen a significant resurgence recently after it was revealed that he admitted to give Quaaludes to women for sex in a 2005 deposition. Despite more than a dozen women accusing him of drugging and raping them, the comedian has not been charged with any crime. His lawyers have denied all the allegations.
Recently, one of Bill's accusers decided to forgive the comedian. Speaking on "Good Morning America", Beverly Johnson said, "I just feel that he's a lightning rod for a much bigger conversation and that conversation would be the rape culture in America." When asked what she would say to the comedian at that time, the former model said, "I forgive you."
