Phylicia Rashad’s opinion on Bill Cosby's release led to an um, "dust-up" with her current employer, Howard University, and to an RJF team debate on whether you can work in higher education while having opinions that upset faculty, students, and donors (06:41). This week’s 'Worst and First’ asks, ‘have you ever seen someone get fired and then they just STAY at work?’ A former college admin walks us through an office shakeup featuring lots of tears and liquor.

And is investing your hopes, dreams, and financial future in higher education a scam? Roy and the team dissect the issue in ‘Scam of The Week.’
