#ByePhylicia started trending on Twitter Thursday as students at Howard University demanded the school fire new Dean of Fine Arts, Phylicia Rashad, for her support of her former co-star Bill Cosby.

The Daily Wire reported that Rashad has been under fire since she tweeted, “FINALLY!!!! A terrible wrong is being righted — a miscarriage of justice is corrected!” in response to news that Cosby’s conviction for sexual assault had been overturned and he was being released from prison.
