Why is Jung “taboo” in academia?

I heard an academic claiming [a certain unmentionable reactionary academic] is unconventional because of his incorporating Jungian psychoanalysis which is “taboo” in academia. I know Jung was very speculative and not exactly a scientific theorist of psychology but neither were Freud or Lacan who are big in the humanities.

I heard one Lacanian psychoanalyst claim Jung’s archetypal/collective unconscious was a form of “benign fascism” and likewise that he was ethnocentric.

Jung isn't taboo in academia. It is less usual to see a talk on Jung than other figures but it is certainly not unusual. Also, especially in continental philosophy, at least a broad familiarity with his work is generally expected. Some academics might think he should be taboo, and enough of them might hang around each other to make him taboo at a particular institution, but he is not taboo in academia.

The reasons why some people think he should be taboo have been explained by others but the short version is people think he was nuts. If that is reason enough to cast someone out of the field then you could write the history of Western philosophy on a post-it-note.
