Cambridge University announced the start of an independent investigation following the death of Professor Jason Arday, 41, who was found dead in August. Arday was the youngest Black professor at the prestigious British institution.
Professor Nathan Cofnas, described in the article as a "racial realist," made the plagiarism allegations against Arday and was eventually suspended after an intense social media hate campaign.
The university council decided to initiate an independent review that will examine the university's decision-making and actions throughout the process involving Arday. This investigation aims to determine how the institution handled the allegations and the subsequent campaign against the professor.
