The TV academy is reviewing Bill Cosby's inclusion in the academy's Hall of Fame following his sexual assault conviction. Although the academy has yet to remove him from its Hall of Fame, Cosby's name was deleted from a list of Hall of Fame honorees on the academy's website.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The TV academy said it is reviewing Bill Cosby’s inclusion in the academy’s Hall of Fame following his sexual assault conviction.

Cosby’s spokesman didn’t immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment.

Although the academy hasn’t decided whether he’ll remain in the Hall of Fame, Cosby’s name had previously been removed a list of Hall of Fame honorees on the academy’s website.

A bust of Cosby no longer will be part of a rotating Walk of Fame exhibit honoring TV heavyweights at the academy’s Los Angeles headquarters, an academy spokesman said.

Last week, jurors in Pennsylvania convicted Cosby of drugging and molesting a Temple University employee in 2004. He awaits sentencing.
