Former Cambridge Professor Jason Arday Found Dead After Plagiarism Probe
Former Cambridge sociology professor Jason Arday was found dead in a Battersea flat, with police saying the death was unexpected and not suspicious. Arday had stepped down from his post after the University of Cambridge opened an investigation into allegations that his doctoral work and other qualifications were plagiarised and misrepresented. The university said it would commission an independent review of his appointment and use the findings in a broader review of senior academic hiring.
