Jonathan Haidt, he's a psychologist at the New York University Business School.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist who has held a faculty position at New York University's Stern School of Business since 2011, currently as the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership. NYU Stern's own faculty biography describes him verbatim as "a social psychologist at New York University's Stern School of Business." Peterson's shorthand, calling it the "New York University Business School" rather than the formal name "Stern School of Business," is an informal paraphrase but conveys the correct institutional affiliation. The core claim, that Haidt is a psychologist based at NYU's business school, is well-supported by NYU Stern's official record.
