Professor Jason Arday resigns from the University of Cambridge this week after the university launches an investigation into his CV and academic record. The reporting cites concerns about his credentials and academic work. Arday had been described as the university’s youngest ever Black professor and as a prominent figure associated with diversity initiatives. The articles also refer to claims made by Arday about honours and personal payments related to a memoir, including an assertion that he was paid £1.4 million by a publisher. One outlet says a podcast episode in which Arday claimed to have an MBE has been deleted. Another report says faculty leadership described his hiring as the result of listening to Black students. Taken together, the sources indicate the university is examining the accuracy of elements of his background and statements, and that Arday’s resignation follows the start of that scrutiny.
