Ohio HBCU Considers Removing Bill Cosby’s Name from Building

cosby bldg

*A historically black college in southwest Ohio says it is considering the removal of Bill Cosby’s name from one of its buildings on campus.

Officials at Central State University in Wilberforce initially said the name of its Cosby Communications Center would remain intact, but President Cynthia Jackson-Hammond said in a statement Wednesday the name will be “discussed appropriately.”

The move comes after newly unsealed documents reveal Cosby testified in 2005 that he obtained Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women before sex.

Jackson-Hammond calls the circumstances around the comedian’s situation “troublesome and disappointing to all.”

The Dayton Daily News reports the Cosby family has donated more than $2 million to the university. A decision on the building’s name is expected from the school soon.
