Cosby was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting plaintiff Andrea Constand in 2004 and faces up to 30 years in prison. Since the end of his trial, Temple University, Notre Dame University, Johns Hopkins University, Wesleyan University, and Carnegie Mellon University have all reportedly rescinded Cosby's honorary degrees.
