Canadian author-psychologist joins 'Fox & Friends,' details goal of offering $4,000 bachelor's degree
World-renowned psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson revealed Wednesday he is launching a more affordable online university to counter left-wing indoctrination in the classroom.
Peterson joined the "Fox & Friends" co-hosts for a wide-ranging dialogue on various issues including the decline of traditional values in young adults far-left bias in the classroom and his motivation to launch his collegiate program.
He said his desire to launch the program stemmed from his unhappiness with how educational institutions have operated over the course of recent decades.
"I'm not very happy with what the universities have done over the last, let's say, 20 years," Peterson said Wednesday on FOX Square. "We're trying to put a system online, Peterson Academy, that will drop the cost of a bachelor's degree to $4,000.
We think we can find the best lecturers in the world and bring them to people, and also instantiate a set of extremely, what would you say, severe and high-quality accreditation standards for the graduates so that people who graduate from our university will be stamped... with a credential that indicates genuine competence, literacy, intelligence, conscientiousness and so forth."
"I think that whole system is ripe for an extreme upset," he continued.
