Jordan Peterson speaks to a crowd during a stop in Sherwood Park Alta, on Feb. 11, 2018.
Peterson, an outspoken critic of political correctness and many campus movements broadly affiliated with the political left, accused the school of bowing to pressure from students and failing to notify him directly of the decision to retract the fellowship.Jordan Peterson speaks at ICC Sydney Theatre on Feb. 26, 2019 in Sydney, Australia.
"I think the Faculty of Divinity made a serious error of judgment in rescinding their offer to me," he wrote in his post."I think they handled publicizing the rescindment in a manner that could hardly have been more narcissistic, self-congratulatory and devious...I wish them the continued decline in relevance over the next few decades that they deeply and profoundly and diligently work toward and deserve.
Word that Peterson's offer had been rescinded was greeted with relief by the Cambridge University students' union, who began tweeting about his invitation in the days before it was withdrawn.
