England's Cambridge University has withdrawn a visiting fellowship offer from controversial Toronto University professor Jordan Peterson. Peterson requested a two-month fellowship at the university's Faculty of Divinity in October, but the school opted to rescind the opportunity following a review of his work, a spokesperson for Cambridge University said in a press release. In a blog post, Peterson said Cambridge did not directly notify him that the fellowship offer had been rescinded. On Thursday, New Zealand book store chain Whitcoulls stopped selling Peterson's work following the Christchurch terror attack, which left 50 dead inside two mosques. The decision was made "in light of some extremely disturbing material being circulated prior, during and after the Christchurch attacks," Whitcoulls said.
