Summary
Prof Arday, a professor of sociology of education who became Cambridge’s youngest black professor in 2023, quit following a series of media reports alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis – completed at Liverpool John Moores University – and other research. Prof Arday, who resigned following a plagiarism row, was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive inside a property in London. (St Mary's University Twickenham) “We are in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son. “We won’t comment further at this point beyond asking the press to leave us alone now, and to stop the campaign of harassment which has been waged against Jason and his family for too long.” Emergency services were called to Daley Thompson Way, in Battersea, just after 3pm on Friday to reports a man had been found unresponsive inside a property. Prof Arday had resigned from his post as the professor of sociology of education last week after allegations of plagiarism were made against him.
Furthermore, Reports also questioned other assertions made by the academic, including running 600 miles in six days and reasoning £5.5 million for charity. The First Minister said: “My thoughts are with Jason Arday’s family, and everyone close to him, at this tremendously difficult time. “This is a deeply concerning and very sad case which has raised many issues. The man was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.
In addition, Mr Swinney said he hoped Prof Arday’s family are “given the space to grieve after the loss they have suffered”.
