> The college’s statement, then, is not a message to Peterson, but a message to other would-be dissenters: Comply with our politics, or risk losing your livelihood. Dissent all you want; the buck stops somewhere though. When you pay to become an alumni of someone's college, you're (to a degree) channeling the power of a cult. They're giving you a voucher of credibility that you earn through appropriate conduct on-campus. If you turncoat down the line, that institution can still revoke their support - their loyalty is not unconditional. (Better Call Saul spoilers I guess) Whole thing reminds me of Saul getting his law license suspended in BCS. We're saddened as viewers, because we see a human side to the protagonist - but he's clearly unfit to serve in a role that demands his professional and emotional integrity. The rest of the industry is right to highlight that Jordan Peterson is crossing that line, and the people who vouch for his credibility are right to reconsider their support for him.
