Officials at Amherst College in Massachusetts have rescinded an award Bill Cosby received in 1999, as per contactmusic.

"The Board of Trustees of Amherst College hereby rescinds the honorary degree awarded to Bill Cosby in 1999," a statement from the university reads. "The Board believes the violation of the values for which it was awarded is clear and exceptional."

While battling with sex assault allegations, officials already stripped off six academic accolades from the 'Cosby Show' star. Tufts University in Massachusetts, Goucher College in Maryland, and Lehigh University in Pennsylvania have also reportedly rescinded his honorary doctorates.

It all comes as the actor fights accusations from more than 50 women, who emerged with claims of inappropriate behavior, drugging and rape allegations against Cosby in the past years.

Mr. Cosby, along with his lawyer Martin D. Singer, has denied the allegations and the actor has not been criminally charged. However, after protecting Bill for years, the actor reportedly replaced Mr. Singer by the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, according to New York Times.

The Hollywood actor will be facing battles in courtrooms with the new legal advisers that "specializes in business litigation and arbitration." Cosby's team declined to release any details why their client had made the sudden change but just made it clear that Mr. Singer is no longer Cosby's legal adviser. Through an email, Monique Pressley confirmed "The firm Lively & Singer no longer represents Mr. Cosby."

Mr. Singer last presented Mr Cosby on Tuesday in the Huth case and in a defamation suit filed by Janice Dickinson, a former model who accused his former client of drugging and raping her back in 1982.

Mr. Singer hasn't released any comments about the sudden changes.

Mr. Singer has built reputation for aggressively defending A list clients and celebrities, especially those who are battling controversy.
