Jordan Peterson’s Online University

why did I decide to build an online

university

well there is a crisis now in higher

education the president of Harvard

University resigned today weeks after

calling for the genocide of Jews violate

pens of code of conduct we have a

problem of affordability and cost

spiraling student loans we have a group

think emerging and that warps the entire

academic Enterprise I experimented with

putting my lectures online and found

that I could teach far more people at

very low cost than I could at the

University and I thought well why not

scale

that what I'm hoping to do is to find

the best lectures in the

world and to bring them to as wide as

possible an audience he came to me and

he basically said I want you to do the

best course that you've always wanted to

do we want to bring you the highest

quality education possible at the lowest

possible price it's extremely high level

content that anybody can use to educate

themselves and it's available to

everybody well that would be

good I think it's funny cuz I got canell

at the University so I could try to

return the favor
