Cosby's Embattled Lawyer Remains Chairman of Temple Trustees

Bill Cosby, once the very public pride of Temple University, parted ways with the school last year amid allegations that he had drugged and sexually assaulted women. Now that his own words show behavior that was at least unsavory, his lawyer is feeling heat for continuing to serve as the chairman of the university's board of trustees.
In deposition testimony taken a decade ago and made public this month, Cosby acknowledged giving quaaludes to women with whom he wanted to have sex — adding evidence that his lawyer, Patrick O'Connor, knew that Cosby had behaved in a way that could reflect badly on the university.
The president of the university's faculty union is calling for O'Connor, currently chairman of the trustees, to step down, but university officials are standing behind O'Connor.
