A Cambridge spokeswoman says the university opted to rescind the fellowship opportunity after a review of Peterson’s work

Cambridge University in Britain says it’s rescinded an offer of a visiting fellowship for controversial University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson.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author says Cambridge did not directly notify him of the fact that the fellowship he requested after a 2018 visit was rescinded, an allegation the university denies.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.”

Jordan Peterson has begun to take himself far too seriously. Time to rethink your future Jordan. You are making enemies who will ruin your reputation for ever. Do you want that?

They’re afraid!!!

Excellent decision.

You just have to laugh at arrogant fools who pretend to speak for others concerning what they do and do not want or need Only cowards are afraid of words and ideas they disagree with

The Left works in mysterious ways.

Probably just a quota thing... canpoli onpoli

As if every little misplaced pronoun and/or adjective should be interpreted as a 'offense'.

Sometimes...wanting to re-invent how society works...expresses itself in the most stupid manner.

How about Cambridge get investigated for THEIR long list of students that get in with bribes & connected family members.

Appropriate decision, and his derisive comments confirm it.

The hateful far left are killing freedom of speech.

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I wish Cambridge’s Faculty of Divinity the obscurity it deeply deservesI don’t know why the Divinity school has rescinded my visiting fellowship to Cambridge because (and this is particularly appalling) it has not formally notified me of the decision That's OK dude.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.
