As does Bill Cosby. And he is a strong advocate for education.

Actually, Cosby earned an Ed.D. from the University of Massachusetts.

In addition, he has been honored the Presidential Medal of Freedom, "Man of the Year" award from Harvard, Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.... I couldn't find anything about honorary degrees for him, though he'd fit the perfect profile for such an honor.

EDIT: Nevermind. A quick Google search yielded these results:


Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, December 5, 2008.[21]
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Carnegie Mellon University, May 20, 2007; he was also the keynote speaker for the commencement ceremony.[22]
Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music, May 8, 2004.[23] Cosby was also the host of the school's 60th Anniversary Concert in January 2006.[24]
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Baylor University, September 4, 2003, at the "Spirit Rally" for the Baylor and Central Texas communities.[25]
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Yale University, May 26, 2003.[26]
Cosby received an Honorary Degree in 2003 presented by President William Harjo LoneFight from the Sisseton Wahpeton College on the Lake Traverse Reservation for his contributions to minority education.
Cosby received an Honorary Doctorate from West Chester University of Pennsylvania during the 2003 graduation ceremony.
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Haverford College, May 2002.[27]

Now those are some HIGH HONORS! I love Bill Cosby!
