Cosby was included in the exhibition because he had been inducted to the television academy's hall of fame, and Disney thought him a big enough name among those members to include in the exhibition. The display also features busts of Andy Griffith and Lucille Ball, among others, including Walt Disney, according to Disney's website (which also continues to list Cosby as part of the exhibit, at least as of the time we posted this).
Yeah, Cosby has turned out to be — um, let's be charitable — a creep, according to all the reports that are surfacing. (Go Google it if you care.) But the fact that Disney is removing something else from Hollywood Studios isn't exactly surprising these days, given the rate at which Disney is closing stuff in the park. The ATAS Hall of Fame Plaza always was a cheap fill in the park anyway, so it probably won't come as much of a shock if all the other busts in the display follow Cosby out of the park in the next year or so, too.
