Has the University of Cambridge abandoned its investigation into the hiring of Jason Arday? This summer, following Arday’s tragic suicide and amid an urgent sense that there were lessons to be learnt, Cambridge promised an independent review into all aspects of its ‘decision-making and actions’ – including how an academic who was so manifestly underqualified, had long been suspected of plagiarism and had made fantastical claims about his life story came to be appointed as a professorial chair. Now, the New York Times claims that the university is backing away from this pledge.
