Former Cambridge Professor Canceled Book Tour Amid Plagiarism Row The news that former Cambridge University professor Jason Arday has canceled his book tour due to a plagiarism row raises more questions than answers about the university's handling of academic misconduct and accountability.
Arday was appointed as Cambridge's youngest black professor in 2023, despite allegations of plagiarizing his PhD thesis at Liverpool John Moores University.
His resignation on Wednesday, following an investigation into "academic qualifications and honorary appointments," has sparked concerns about the university's vetting process.
