For decades, comedian Bill Cosby was the very public face of Temple University, an alumnus promoting the school and its mission. He wore his Temple t-shirt on his popular TV show, routinely spoke at the school’s commencement ceremonies and hosted a convocation class for freshmen: “Cosby 101.” This winter, after numerous women accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them, Cosby resigned from Temple’s Board of Trustees. Cosby has never admitted sexually assaulting a woman, nor has he been criminally charged. But in the wake of more recent revelations — his statements during a deposition a decade ago describing how he got drugs to offer to women — some at Temple are asking about another member of the school’s board: Its chairman, Patrick J. O’Connor, who represents Cosby in the case.
