Members of the U of T administration sent a letter to Professor of Psychology Jordan Peterson on October 18, which expressed issue with the embattled professor’s stance on pronouns.

Peterson became the subject of international media attention after The Varsity reported on his YouTube lecture series, in which he criticizes “political correctness” and states that if a student requests to be referred to by pronouns other than ‘he’ or ‘she’, he would refuse the request.

 

The letter was provided to The Varsity by Peterson. Signed by Faculty of Arts and Science Dean David Cameron and Vice-Provost, Faculty & Academic Life Sioban Nelson, it warns that Peterson’s refusal is “contrary to the rights of those persons to equal treatment without discrimination based on their ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression.’”
