Murder In a Mexican University: Self-proclaimed Terrorists Take Responsible For Attack?; University Of Conneticut Revokes Colsby Honorary Degree

By

The murder in the chemistry faculty at National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City (UNAM) was taken responsibility of the individual calling themselves Individualistas Tendiendo a lo Salvaje.

The administrator at the faculty Jose Jaime Barrera Moreno was found dead in a corridor on Monday, June 27. The group with the initials ITS claimed the murder, and they described themselves as "individualist-terrorist" and "at war with civilization and progress," in which they blamed for annihilating the individual, in a video uploaded onto a blog named "Eco-extremist Curse," Vice News reported.

ITS warned the students, teachers, and investigators about the possible attack.

Meanwhile, University of Connecticut will revoke American stand-up comedian and actor Bill Cosby's honorary degree. UConn is not the only university in the United States who decided to revoke the honorary degree of the actor.

The University of Connecticut's board of trustees voted unanimously to void the honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts that the school presented to the comedian in 1996, NBC Conneticut reported. The board came up with the decision after Cosby was ordered to stand trial in a sexual assault, in which a woman claimed that the comedian gave her three blue pills that made her unconscious, and was not able to stop his advances.

In 2005, Cosby claimed that it was a consensual sexual activity and the woman who reported the assault never said no.

In a released memo to the board, Provost Choi wrote, due to the conduct he admitted in his sworn testimony, UConn considers the revocation of his honorary degree. The university's undergraduate student government passed the resolution in March, in which they asked the administration to revoke his degree.

The actor-comedian keeps on denying all allegations of sexual misconduct. Aside from sexual assault, Cosby is also facing defamation lawsuit.
