Oh dear. A student 'blacked up' for Halloween .
Although US frat boy Brock Denton went even further than simply painting himself black. He went to a party dressed as alleged rapist Bill Cosby.
The famous comedian has been accused of various instances of sexual misconduct by at least 58 women .
After a photo emerged on social media showing Brock dressed as Cosby, things escalated.
Brock, a now former undergraduate at the University of Central Arkansas (UCA), went to a party in the town of Conway on Friday night. He was spotted after a photo was posted to Instagram – which has now been deleted, as has the entire account, it seems.
The image has been circulating...

The caption said: "It was a bold night."
The snap wasn't deleted before others spotted it and shared it around. Brock's probably regretting his choice of costume.
The university was made aware of the situation on Saturday and tweeted: "We are aware of the offensive image being circulated. We do not condone this type of behavior and it’s currently being investigated."

It looks as though the investigation concluded as of Sunday. The sophomore year student has been expelled, according to The Daily Dot , and his fraternity chapter suspended.
The institution called his actions "highly offensive and repugnant." Brock had been a member of a fraternity called Sigma Tau Gamma .
A handwritten statement from UCA was posted online:

Brock has – unsurprisingly – been suffering since the picture did the rounds on social media. He wrote a long apology in which he claims to have received "death threats".
The university's news site posted Brock's apology late on Saturday...
