Cosby's degree is no more fake than a lot. He appears to actually have written something. MLK showed a keen sense of copying.
The women were adults who went with a man who had money, power, and star clout. After not becoming his lady and getting some of his money they, in latter years, pile on and whine and cry. Too damn bad. They took their shot and failed. They tried to trade sexual favors for money and power, much like any other whores. If they had a real case they would have gone to the police back then.
As for his life experience, light degrees. He did as much work as many others have done at the so called accredited colleges. I have no problem with what he was allowed to do. John Bear also handed out degrees heavy on life experience and strongly supported schools that used that system. He thought it a good idea, BACK THEN. I just wish others, less wealthy and famous, had the same options. Of course once they did. The many state approved colleges allowed a lot of life experience credit. Too much? maybe, who's to say. But I would look at it this way. Cosby is obviously an educated, intelligent man. Others fit the same mold. If a man 50-60 years old has the knowledge and experience of another who has a traditional degree, who is to say that that man should not be able to prove that knowledge and skill and be recognized for it by being granted a degree. Life experience???? If it is of value, and I think it is, it should be noticed. It's just another way of accumulating knowledge and wisdom. A degree for this is no worse than a kid taking multiple choice tests and claiming skills. Successful experience is a measure of learning and skill.
