Cambridge University rescinds offer of visiting fellowship for Jordan Peterson

A controversial Canadian professor has lost his chance to teach at the U.K.’s prestigious Cambridge University.
The university’s faculty of divinity tweeted Wednesday that it had rescinded a previous offer of a visiting fellowship to Jordan Peterson, who it says requested the position. A spokesperson for the school confirmed the information contained in the tweet to CTVNews.ca.

Peterson responded with a blog post in which he said he had not been formally notified about the offer being rescinded. He also took issue with the faculty making its revocation public when it had not publicized the initial offer.

“I think the Faculty of Divinity made a serious error of judgement in rescinding their offer to me,” he said.
“I think they handled publicizing the rescindment in a manner that could hardly have been more narcissistic, self-congratulatory and devious.”
