University of Toronto faculty members have spoken out against a proposed website that would list women’s studies and other “postmodern neo-Marxist” professors, saying it has created a climate of fear and intimidation. Peterson said he is still debating on whether or not to launch the website. “But I would think, strategically speaking, the faculty association and the people who are pushing them might have waited until there was actually a website. And so I’ve just put it in stasis.”Members of the university’s Women and Gender Studies Institute sent a letter to Messenger and several other U of T faculty members last week, drawing their attention to the proposed website. “The website, if launched, presents a serious case of harassment, fostering unsafe work and study conditions for students, faculty and staff,” said Rinaldo Walcott, the centre’s director, and Prof. Michelle Murphy.
