"And there were, I’m afraid, plenty of holes in Arday’s CV. The non-existent academic positions at Ohio State University and the University of Glasgow (both of which the institutions denied); the Master’s degree from Birkbeck that the university could find no record of; the earlier biography that was never published; the 30 marathons in 35 days; the racist incident with a pig’s head that the police claimed never took place; the claim that he took part in the famous TV series 7 Up, which would have been impossible given his age; the claim that he was non-verbal until the age of 11, which was disputed by several of his school friends, including one who remembered him as a ‘chatty patty’; the £5million he allegedly raised for charity that turned out to be part of a collective fund-raising initiative involving over 100 people" |

Ibime:Don't be naive. What happened to the guy was clearly a racially motivated witch hunt. |

Lordbinsmar:There could be a witch-hunt. I'm not interested in the Politics of it. I actually believe in DEI for those who merit it or get close to it. But he was a complete charlatan, and you can judge for yourself whether his lies merit or don't merit being stripped of his position. He ultimately found himself guilty by his action. He is not the first to plagiarise. But he ended it because the cascade of lies I listed there means his whole world he created for himself had collapsed and there was no way back. This is beyond plagiarism. But the life (fantasy) he created was over, and he conceded it by his action. |

DoWhatThouWilt:What does a witch-hunt have to do with lack of humility. You dunce!! |

⁹ Ibime:You are right but to be honest, what this guy did is not uncommon in the western academic world. A lot of western academics had committed even more worse than the guy, but they where never witch hunted. Even in cases where the were clear exposed the system and the institution protected them. I do not support what this guy did in any way. But don't be naive to think his downfall was not racially motivated. |

If you want to grant interviews then make sure you don't have dirt that can be dug out. He was granting interviews and making claims that attracted attention. I don't know why I don't feel sorry for the guy. I don't feel sorry for anyone who allows social media validation rule their lives |

Some people's case in that same institution but was overlooked. |

Protect your head at all cost. Self preservation is a thing. |

Lordbinsmar:Well the honest truth is he was too brazen in his lies and would be taken down regardless of race There are hundreds if not thousands of black lecturers and Professors in this country, all of whom are doing well and none of which are being witch-hunted, a few whom I know personally. He actually has done them all a disservice by cheating the system and using stories other than academic achievement to fraud his way into position, which does the real black academics more harm than good. If you ask me (MY PERSONAL OPINION), he deliberately and strategically decided to tick all the boxes of DEI to advance his career by virtue signalling knowing he does not have the brains of an academic 1. He made up non-verbal autism lie to explain his extremely poor secondary school and University performance (Only 2 GCSEs, no A Levels and degree in PE). Added partial deafness and claimed he taught himself sign language - DISABILITY box ticked ✅ 2. He made up stroke, epilepsy, brain tumour - HEALTH challenges box ticked ✅ 3. Made up millions he raised for charities who all denied it - Fundraising box ticked ✅ 4. Though a straight married black man with 2 children, the only interest group he had unticked was the LGBTQ community, and my observation (I may be wrong) is he deliberately made his physical appearance to also tick the LGBTQ box. Notice his foundation, eyeshadow, lip balm, style of hair, eyebrows shaping, beard shaping all curated in the specific style members of the LGBTQ community use. Another box ✅ My personal opinion is he deliberately and strategically planned and gamed the system to appeal to all interest groups to further his profile and career. And that's a disservice to our true black academics putting in serious work.

Lordbinsmar:Can you please point out others who committed such forgeries and were never exposed. Lordbinsmar:Please, who did such thing and their institutions protected them? |

DeepSight:Black man and victim mentality na 5&6. 😒 A simple Google search would reveal that even O'Reilly was subjected to media scrutiny back in 2024. But reading the story of the two men, you already begin seeing the difference almost as soon as you do. O'Reilly did not resign and endured the investigation, from which Cambridge eventually cleared him for reasons best known at this point to the counsel. Arday resigned from his post as soon as the heat came on. 😒 You also need to examine some of the claims he made in his memoir. Yes, he wrote a book about himself, further opening himself up to public scrutiny. People from his past, including some who attended primary school with him, chimed in, confirming the falsehoods of many claims made. If you open up to be scrutinized, shouldn't you at least expect people to do just that... scrutinize you? 😒 Also, have you at least watched one of Arday's lectures? I have taken some time to review his teaching in order to understand some of the complaints made by former students. After watching that, I think the student may have been on to something, if not on point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBhYvEq3qyU?si=MCl5befEcFn32Owg https://www.reddit.com/r/UniUK/comments/1veinaa/can_anyone_comment_on_jason_ardays_teaching/ https://unherd.com/newsroom/jason-arday-taught-me-heres-what-i-learnt/?edition=us |

Ibime:You are absolutely right. The guy is fake and he went too far with his fakeness. However, my point still remain there are systematic racism and baise against the back race in the western world, and the academic world is not an exception. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by folake4u: 8:00pm On Aug 16 |
BRATISLAVA:Lol, I read all of these. I felt Jason was really brazen in his claims. I'm even surprised that he's a straight man, he gave off as a member of the LGBTQ community. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by Lordbinsmar: 8:01pm On Aug 16 |
Wickedtruths:Can you google search academic frauds and misconduct at Cambridge University? |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by BRATISLAVA: 8:01pm On Aug 16 |
folake4u:The latter is the astonishing part. Don't know why he kept circling. He should've quit when the applause was loudest. Instead he waited until he was fully uncovered. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by folake4u: 8:03pm On Aug 16 |
BRATISLAVA:I know right! Really astonishing. Yes, indeed but he kept on stalling and now a sorry end. My fear is that this might have a negative impact on the Black Professors in the academic world. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by Lordbinsmar: 8:08pm On Aug 16 |
folake4u:This is the real problem regarding the systematic racism against the black race. If an Asian or European commit a misconduct, it is about the individual, but if it is a black person it is about the race as a whole. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by BRATISLAVA: 8:08pm On Aug 16 |
folake4u:Looking at him, you'd assume he was. Don't get the need to fit in by deceptive appearance. It might make people more eager to expose another person. Some charlatans are watching and will still tow the same path. Humans. |

AndroBlaze:The same Obama, till today, still gets abused and bullied on social media; even Trump and his gang still can't get him out of their mouths. Was it not too long ago Trump posted a monkey profile of Obama and his wife that got the entire world talking? You never jam body go tell you |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by Ibime(m): 8:10pm On Aug 16 |
folake4u:The physical appearance seems to me to be curated to tick the LGBTQ box having ticked off all other interest groups box. The guy was a hustler, and he knew his hustle. |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by folake4u: 8:13pm On Aug 16 |
BRATISLAVA:Yeahhh it's mind boggling. Humans are most definitely predictable and like you rightly said, some charlatans will tow that path. Certainly! |
| Re: Jason Arday: "I’ve Turned Down Every Single Interview" - Professor Qadira by folake4u: 8:19pm On Aug 16 |
Lordbinsmar:You have a point, while I agree that there's systematic racism against the black race, I'm also of the opinion that not everything is racial discrimination and sometimes, black people embrace victim mentality everytime which can be very annoying. In this case, I don't this Jason's issue is racial discrimination, he lied all the way to the top. Let's call a spade by its name. |

DeepSight:So its now a case of if the thief was a white skin man The better perspective is why must you be a thief Like I said, if you have no skeleton in your cupboard, you have nothing to fear If you’re going to play the race card, please play it right. No blemish. Jason Arday should have never lied. Not even once. Not even a little bit. That would have saved us all black people. Racism already creates a higher burden of scrutiny, They are already looking for opportunities to discredit us. Looking for a reason to not include us. GIVE THEM NONE. Everything we do as black people should be excellent. My oppressor may have the power to affect my circumstances, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction of seeing me defeated by it. |

folake4u:I agree the jason guy is a fraud and he went too far regarding a lot of stuffs on his CV. There is no way you won't get caught if you build your whole life on deceit. But trust me for the racist europeans this is not about jason or a fraudulent individual it is about discrediting the intellectual capability of the black race. |

edogu:They were not overlooked. Even here in the US, plagiarism charges are investigated and some cases end in terminations while others do not. In most cases, the public attention shifts a couple of weeks after the case has been announced. The plagiarism charges came out in late July. He was accused by Nathan Cofnas of being a DEI fraud. If you understand what it means to be DEI, add fraud to that, and you will begin to get a sense of what he was accused of. It wasn't just plagiarism. Jason's entire story was mostly all fabricated; that is what came from all of this. It was when Cambridge refused to investigate that the whole thing got blown up in the media. ![]() Under the influence of a white high school teacher who “gave [him] agency,” Arday pursued higher education. After receiving a PhD from Liverpool John Moores University, he rocketed up the academic ladder as a scholar of racism, education, and inequality. In three years he went from senior lecturer at Roehampton (2018) to associate professor at Durham (2019) to professor at Glasgow (2021). Ivy League universities (plural) tried to recruit him, but he had his heart set on Oxford or Cambridge. In 2023, at age 37, he became the youngest black full professor in the history of Cambridge. He is one of the youngest people of any race to ever hold a chair professorship at Oxbridge.Much of what is emboldened in red is a lie, by the way.😒 https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2026/07/28/race-cambridge-and-the-jason-arday-plagiarism-scandal/ https://ncofnas.com/p/dei-fraud-and-cover-up-at-cambridge https://news.educ.cam.ac.uk/230223-jason-arday |
