There is still pertinent information being released about him resigning from Board of Trustees at................have to check name again.

He resigned from Temple University amidst student demands to boot him, blueberry. I believe it was his most coveted and last affiliation standing.

He is Temple's most famous alumnus, and he had been on the board since 1982. Cosby helped raise millions for the university. An alumni-led change.org petition signed by 1,000 people urged the school to reconsider that profitable relationship, considering that 20 women have now come forward with claims that Cosby assaulted them.

Andrea Constand, former director of operations for Temple's women's basketball program, was the first woman to file suit against Cosby. In 2005, she alleged that he had drugged and raped her at his Philadelphia mansion. Her case, joined by 11 other Jane Does, was eventually settled out of court.

"I have always been proud of my association with Temple University," said Cosby. "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 temple University Board of Trustees."

Cosby's alma mater, UMass Amherst, cut ties with him last week. He had been acting as a co-chair of the school's $300 million capital campaign.
