In the ongoing backlash against actor and comedian Bill Cosby, another university will end its association with the benefactor, who has been accused of sexual assault by more than 45 women in instances extending as far back as the 1960s.
Central State University, a historically black college in southwest Ohio, announced that it will permanently remove Cosby's name from its communications building, according to The Associated Press.
The university, located in Wilberforce, released a statement Friday explaining that the Camille O. and William H. Cosby Communications Center has been renamed the CSU Communications Center. Cosby's name had been temporarily covered since July as the university debated its final decision.
The Cosby family has donated more than $2 million to the university.
Central State President Cynthia Jackson-Hammond called the allegations against Cosby "troubling and disappointing to all."
