Yale Breaks Tradition To Rescind Bill Cosby's Honorary Degree

Yale is rescinding the honorary degree it awarded Bill Cosby, joining numerous other universities in revoking honors following the comedian's sexual assault conviction.

Yale announced Tuesday that the university's board of trustees had voted to rescind the honorary degree it awarded Cosby in 2003. 

The school says it is committed to both 'the elimination of sexual misconduct and the adherence to due process.'
