No it is no the same and your premises shows your bias. We live in a politically conscious time. Universities do and need to stay aware of the possible political fallout of there research. Because if they don't it can be weaponized, which is why the alt-right loves Peterson; the can co-opt it and legitimize themselves further.
Furthermore the attacks on Academia are motived politically. Universities are stll left leaning, the right wants to be THE dominant voice and are attacking places where they are not.
Also Itse post about Contrapoints is the best post in this thread.
