Bill Cosby Resigns from University Board Amidst Rape Allegations

US comedian Bill Cosby has resigned from the board of trustees of the Temple University in Philadelphia, amid ongoing allegations of sexual assault. He said he wants to act in the best interest of the university where he studied as an undergraduate.
The resignation comes after several of his Bill Cosby shows have been axed in the US. The 77-year-old entertainer has been accused of sexually assaulting more than a dozen women. The comedian has not directly addressed the accusations, but his lawyers have described them as discredited and defamatory.
