Jason Arday death ‘tragedy on so many levels’ says PM Burnham

Arday had denied plagiarism - but admitted errors in his work - and said the recent controversy had led to "an unrelenting level of public scrutiny and personal attack".

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Professor of Black Studies Kehinde Andrews, a friend of Arday, described him as "very down" after resigning from Cambridge.

The row first erupted after another academic - self-defined "race realist" Nathan Cofnas, who was sacked from his Cambridge role in 2024 - said he found numerous instances of plagiarism in the professor's work.
