Comedian Bill Cosby’s public humiliation continued this week, as he now has resigned from the Board of Trustees at his Pennsylvania alma mater, over the allegations of sexual assault he’s facing, the Express reported.
In a statement issued by Cosby to board executives, the man who used to Dr. Huxtable wrote, “I have always been proud of my association with Temple University. I have always wanted to do what would be in the best interests of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation from the Temple University Board of Trustees.”

Incidentally, for nostalgia’s sake, we looked up a memorable episode of the Cosby Show, where the great, iconic doctor is discussing dating with two young girls, his own daughter Rudy and her friend Olivia.
“The Cosby Show: Nightmare on Stigwood Avenue (#7.21)” (1991)
Rudy Huxtable: You have a date? Olivia, you’re only 5!
Olivia Kendall: Don’t push it Rudy! Dr. Huxtable says I’m very mature for my age.
[Cliff enters]
Rudy Huxtable: Dad, Olivia’s going on a date?
Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable: Yeah, why not? She’s very mature for her age.
Rudy Huxtable: [Olivia’s going on a date] Doesn’t she have a curfew?
Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable: Well of course she does.
[to Olivia]
Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable: Now when would you *like* to get back?
Olivia Kendall: Tuesday.
Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable: Okay then, Tuesday is the curfew.
