Cambridge University in Britain says it's rescinded an offer of a visiting fellowship for controversial University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson.

A Cambridge spokeswoman says Peterson requested a two-month fellowship at the school's Faculty of Divinity, which had been slated to take place in October and November of this year.

But she says the university opted to rescind the fellowship opportunity after a review of Peterson's work. Peterson has earned a global following after becoming an outspoken critic of political correctness and advocate for free speech on post-secondary campuses. The best-selling author says Cambridge did not directly notify him of the fact that the fellowship he requested after a 2018 visit was rescinded, an allegation the university denies.

In a blog post, Peterson called the school's decision "a serious error of judgment" and wished the Faculty of Divinity "the continued decline in relevance that they...deserve."

They starting burning books next?

His “free speech” is just boorish rudeness. Good for Cambridge!

He is right on the pronoun and gender stuff though.

Want to make jordans squirm, ask him about Israel.

Can UfT be next? His dangerous rhetoric is not needed in this world.

Now if only the UofT would rescind his employment, we'd be all good.

I don't know of anyone who jordanbpeterson teachings hasn't helped.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Nothing says “we’re inclusive” like excluding people based on their notoriety.

Jordan Peterson: I wish Cambridge’s Faculty of Divinity the obscurity it deeply deservesI don’t know why the Divinity school has rescinded my visiting fellowship to Cambridge because (and this is particularly appalling) it has not formally notified me of the decision That's OK dude. If one of you or Cambridge is going to rest in deserved obscurity it ain't gonna be Cambridge. JBP is an absolute legend. Of course a man who is obsessed with clicks and views would think the worst thing he could wish on someone or something is obscurity.
