John Bickley

In a decision celebrated by the university’s students’ union, the University of Cambridge has officially rescinded a fellowship offer to famed psychology professor Jordan Peterson.

On Monday, Peterson announced in a video posted on YouTube that Cambridge had offered him a two-month visiting fellowship with its Faculty of Divinity. “What’s happening in October is that I’m going to Cambridge University in the UK for two months, and I’m going to be a visiting fellow there at the Divinity School,” Peterson told viewers (video below). “That should give me an opportunity to talk to religious experts of all types for a couple of months, as well as students. And the plan at the moment is to do that at the same time that I start recording the lectures on Exodus.”
