Phylicia Rashad, the incoming dean of Howard University’s College of Fine Arts, sent an apology email to the school’s students and parents after backlash over comments she made about former co-star Bill Cosby’s release. « I offer my most sincere apology. I have since removed that upsetting tweet, » Rashad wrote in an email shared to Twitter. She acknowledged that the tweet she shared this week, in which she praised the court’s decision to overturn the disgraced comedian’s conviction, « caused so much hurt in so many people. » Rashad continued her apology email, stating that she « vehemently » opposes sexual violence of any kind. In order to win back the trust of the Howard community, Rashad plans to participate in training programs on sexual assault and university protocol.
