Questions about his qualifications were raised publicly last month by Nathan Cofnas, a one-time Cambridge philosophy researcher who left the university after his criticism of diversity, equity and inclusion policies sparked widespread protests.
On July 24, the Times of London published an analysis of Arday’s 2015 Ph.D. thesis highlighting what it said were multiple examples of passages that were “identical or near-identical” to an earlier paper written by another researcher.
Cambridge initially stood by Arday, saying that the plagiarism allegations had been investigated by Liverpool John Moores University, which awarded Arday’s doctorate.
Always curious to see the scrutiny certain individuals will face at certain moments in their careers, while others seem to skate by. I hardly blame him for leaving. Hope he lands somewhere more productive and less petty.
Dawg if he stole someone elses work he doesn’t deserve shit 😂
Did he? Seems like they just buried him under a heap of investigations based on the accusations of “DEI” from a rival.
Seems weird to resign if you know the allegations are false. But he deserves the benefit of the doubt, so poor guy for having to face these allegations
Seems weird to resign if you know the allegations are false.
If you’re being harassed continuously, alongside the accusations? Not that weird.
Fair point.
He’s black, he must’ve plagiarised!
And other things conservatives tell themselves.
This story seems to be getting way more media attention than it probably deserves. I wonder why?
