A second part of Cambridge University’s review or investigation into the Jason Arday affair has been announced. Arday, you will remember, was the young professor of the Sociology of Education, whose status as the youngest black professor ever appointed by Cambridge was greeted with an almost worldwide fanfare, and ended in his tragic death.
The first part of the investigation, announced in September, will, according to the BBC, “examine the support, interventions and protections available to Arday during the period prior to his death.” In other words, it will treat the affair as if it were primarily a psychotherapeutic problem.
