Cambridge University in Britain says it's rescinded an offer of a visiting fellowship for controversial University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson.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author says Cambridge did not directly notify him of the fact that the fellowship he requested after a 2018 visit was rescinded, an allegation the university denies.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