'Professor against political correctness' had his Cambridge fellowship withdrawn after posing next to a man in an 'I'm a proud Islamophobe' t-shirt, university's vice chancellor reveals

A controversial Canadian academic had his Cambridge fellowship withdrawn after posing next to a man in an 'I'm a proud Islamophobe' t-shirt.

Jordan Peterson, a psychology professor, was offered a two-month visiting fellowship at Cambridge University.

It was revoked last week after Dr Peterson was pictured posing with a man wearing an anti-Islam t-shirt last year on February 18 while on his 12 Rules for Life Tour in Auckland, New Zealand, as reported by Varsity.
