Recent revelations in The Telegraph have taken us to the heart of the scandal
As the Times Higher Education (THE) prepared to publish a story on plagiarism and research misconduct in September 2025, the journalist Jack Grove sent a series of questions to Professor Jason Arday regarding his academic record. In response, Prof Arday engaged the law firm Carter-Ruck, which suggested in correspondence with Grove and THE that the publication’s “apparent attack” might be “racially motivated.” Prof Arday complained to the police. Grove was then investigated for four months. He later had a visit from police officers who advised him to cease contact with Prof Arday, citing concerns that the questions had impacted Arday’s mental health.
In other words, the Metropolitan Police investigated a journalist performing his professional duty. Offering a right of reply prior to publication is a well-established principle of responsible journalism.
Such developments are troubling in a democratic society.
Who recommended this course of action? Given that Prof Arday is autistic, it is likely he sought guidance in handling what must have been a difficult situation. It seems plausible that he turned to someone in the University whom he trusted for advice, especially as this was a matter relating to his research work.
Indeed, the University had an obligation to offer advice under its duty of care as an employer. What advice was given to Prof Arday?
More broadly, the University appears to have form in handling matters in this way. There have been earlier instances where public funds were used to contain reputational damage. During the ‘Cambridge Whistleblowing Tribunal’, it emerged that Professor Richard McMahon — who had made defamatory and untrue allegations — received financial backing in a private legal case. In the Cancer Research UK scandal, Professor Paul Pharaoh received threatening letters from the University solicitors about divulging information on social media. The 21 Group is also aware of other cases in which whistleblowing academics in Cambridge have been subject to police intimidation and arrest.
These are not isolated incidents but reflect recurring approaches associated with the University’s Human Resources, Communications, and Legal divisions.
The Daily Telegraph reported: “A spokesman for Cambridge University said: ‘The University did not make any complaint to the police against Jack Grove in 2025. Neither was it aware of any such complaint being made.’” This prompts the question: what, precisely, is meant by “the University” in this context?
Given that both the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Deborah Prentice, and the Chancellor, Lord Chris Smith, have repeatedly stressed the importance of free speech, should we not expect a clear condemnation of these events? Should we not also expect a thorough and transparent investigation?
The institutional cowardice and dishonesty are by far the most egregious things in this scandal.

TheResearcher · 5 August 2026 at 10:21
Varsity is not “terrified” by Arday, but by the University. Varsity has already cancelled stories last time because they exposed the degrading state of Cambridge University.
Can someone clarify who are the sponsors of Varsity? Alumni? If so, who?
CuriouserandCuriouser · 5 August 2026 at 10:31
This only makes it even more curious.
Varsity makes most of its money from graduate-recruiter advertising (law firms, consultancies, banks targeting Cambridge students). Ad inventory is sold across print (page rates from £200 to £1,000) and web (banners, sponsored links, tenancies) via the Varsity Publications commercial site.
The Arday story is gargantuam. It would bring massive readership volumes: not least of all from the very students the paper’s advertisers aim to reach.
I also imagine that many alumni are interested too.
So if they are not covering it, they are doing so at significant material cost to the publication.

Can you please tell us some names or perhaps tell me where I can find the information? I intend to contact them, cc the editors and the leadership. It is an absolute shame that Varsity is not covering this issue and it is surely not Arday that is telling them not to do so. Does the University also contribute to funds for Varsity or has any legal power to cancel their stories before publishing?

The University has no direct authority over Varsity. It just happens to own the building which Varsity occupies, and happens to have authority over those individuals who write for Varsity and who are also students or employees of the University. But no-one would ever dream that it would ever abuse its position as landlord or degree-awarder, so all is well. Next people will be claiming that the University would use dark arts to influence full-time professional journalists working for major news outlets. Absurd.
21percent.org · 5 August 2026 at 14:35
Absolutely.
Varsity of course offer the university right of reply on any critical story (as is standard journalistic practice) It would be inconceivable that the university might try to apply any pressure to drop articles 😉
Still, Varsity have dropped a series of articles on bullying, CRUK-Cam & events at a number of departments in the School of Physical Sciences.
They had a scoop on the ‘Whistleblowing Employment Tribunal’, but pulled the story at the last minutes. The University had correctly advised that it might be prudent to wait till 2100 when everyone connected with events would be dead.
Given what was done to Jack Grove …. very sensible. Students are much more exposed!

TheResearcher · 5 August 2026 at 14:53
There is nothing that prevents the editors of Varsity of either publishing and ignoring the pressure, or report it to another newspaper as Jack Grove did. Now would be the ideal time to do it, namely regarding Arday’s and other stories, to show what kind of institution we have at Cambridge. It is their reputation as editors that is on the line as well. If they keep the same embarrassing silence as the senior leadership, it will not work for their future as journalists if that is what they intend to do. Their silence is sure embarrassing for their main audience, other students and alumni of the University.

Another story on the involvement of the police…
https://afcomm.org.uk/2026/08/05/jason-arday-reported-academic-critic-to-police/
“Jason Arday reported academic critic to police after questions over his research”
Why would a person (or an institution) report someone to the police who was asking questions about the integrity of their work, without clarifying the situation? How odd.
Eileen Nugent · 6 August 2026 at 03:21
“Jason Arday reported academic critic to police after questions over his research”
This is a cross regulatory situation where a journalist is attempting to make a contribution to regulating the academic standards of an academic & an academic is in response trying to make a contribution to regulating the standards of journalism of a journalist. An academic and/or journalist could refer the cross regulatory situation to their own principal regulator – OfS/independent press standards organisation – in tandem with referring the situation to the cross regulator in the particular cross regulatory situation – independent press standards organisation/OfS. The police could also refer the cross regulatory situation to the appropriate combination of regulators as a check point before taking decisions in relation to police involvement in a cross regulatory situation.
Eileen Nugent · 8 August 2026 at 01:35
If a professional is subjected to a step change in regulation with respect to professional standards – self imposed and/or externally imposed – the resultant step change in the level of scrutiny – self scrutiny and/or external scrutiny – has the potential to result in a significant step change increase in work-related stress and hence mental health risk. This means that in any cross regulatory situation like the one above – step change in regulation with respect to professional standards – there is a mental health risk to consider on both sides of the cross regulatory situation.
There is a situational mental health risk – associated with a cross regulation situation – independent of the personal risk factors operating on each side of that cross regulatory situation which may or may not be known to those handling the case. In handling that type of situation there is a risk of giving too much weight to known personal risk factors operating on one side of that cross regulatory situation and not enough weight to situational risk factors – which could be significant & dynamic for both sides of that cross regulatory situation – and the possibility of hidden/unknown personal risk factors being uncovered in that cross regulatory situation and starting to operating on either side of it.
If a professional can sustainably regulate their own self with respect to their own professional standards this means the professional has found a way/ways to regulate their own work-related stress and their own mental health risk while continuously meeting the professional standards expected of them. If a person cannot sustainably regulate themselves with respect to their own professional standards this means the professional has not found a way/ways to regulate their own work-related stress and their own mental health risk while continuously meeting the expected professional standards expected of them.
The risk of a professional in the latter position attempting to make a contribution to the regulation of others to professional standards – PhD students, journalists – is that there is a higher probability of the person trying to impose their own form of regulation with respect to professional standards on others – by example and/or by instruction [where instruction may or may not be in conflict with example] – when their own form of regulation with respect to professional standards has not allowed the person themselves to sustainably regulate their own work-related stress and their own mental health risk while continuously meeting the professional standards expected of them.
There is then an increased risk of inaccurate regulation of others with respect to professional standards by a professional in the latter position which could generate excess work-related stress and mental health risk for those others above accurate regulation of others with respect to professional standards. There is an increased risk of a professional in the latter position entering into a cross regulatory situation where in response to the person attempting to make a contribution to regulating others with respect to professional standards others attempt to make a contribution to regulating the person with respect to professional standards.
If a person holds an inaccurate representation of others – e.g. believes others hold an undue bias with respect to a particular personal characteristic when others hold no such undue bias with respect to that particular personal characteristic – there is an increased risk of inaccurate regulation of others by the person with respect to anything – that includes professional standards.

https://gript.ie/how-cambridge-university-became-a-dei-victim/
“Cambridge University has become a victim of its own Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) machinery. By building its modern institutional brand around a symbolic narrative of progressive representation, social justice imperatives effectively superseded basic academic standards. When an elite university ties its prestige so heavily to ideological EDI imperatives, it loses the internal leverage required to enforce its own core standards. In trying to protect its flagship diversity initiatives, Cambridge has found itself trapped—forced to defend documented scholarship failures to preserve its organisational narrative.”
“The central crisis for Cambridge is not that an individual scholar produced questionable work, but that the university’s administrative apparatus rendered itself incapable of addressing it.”
“Rather than encouraging transparency, the institutional structure incentivized suppression to protect the brand from reputational fallout.”
“By treating legitimate academic scrutiny as an existential threat to its social justice mission, Cambridge painted itself into a corner: admitting fault meant destroying its celebrated DEI narrative, while denying the facts severely eroded its standing as a world-class academic institution.”

News from Malta…
https://timesofmalta.com/article/publisher-defends-cambridge-professor-plagiarism-row.1132366
“Publisher Simon & Schuster has defended Jason Arday, a University of Cambridge professor facing snowballing accusations of plagiarism ahead of the release of his memoir.
We are proud to publish Professor Jason Arday. We have worked closely with him… and can speak to the professionalism and integrity he has brought to every stage of the publication,” Simon & Schuster said in a statement sent to AFP on Wednesday.”
But my favourite is,
“The publisher noted that “no allegations of plagiarism have been made with respect to” the memoir, which is set to be published next week in the United States and the end of the month in the UK.”
The Horror, The Horror · 5 August 2026 at 15:32
1. Simon & Schuster’s own speakers’ bureau quietly edited Arday’s bio between May and July 2025 removing the specific “£5.5 million raised for 80 charities” figure and claims about running 600 miles in six days. This was well before the public scandal broke on Arday. It suggests the publisher had internal doubts about his claims well before the media raised concerns.
2. That they did even this much is puzzling. Memoirs are not fact-checked by trade publishers; they historically do not independently verify memoirists’ claims (a norm criticized since the James Frey affair of 2006). It is hard to avoid the implication that Simon & Schuster had sufficient reason to doubt Arday’s honesty well before sending the publication to print; but have apparently, have since done no due diligence on his other claims, nor have they chosen to suspend the book release while the matter is addressed.

A 21 Group spokesman said: “A key unanswered question is the composition of the appointments committee that selected him.

ARAMIS · 5 August 2026 at 22:59
Are you thinking SCM, oncology/cancer research scandal?? And how DEI worked there to first believe in blatant lies and then promote the originator of the lies?
EtonMess · 6 August 2026 at 06:12
@Ender
Right, there’s a critical difference.
I’ve seen nothing in the evidence to suggest Dr Arday bullied or that his lies caused harm to others and destroyed their careers. In other cases known throughout Cambridge, that’s not the case. The research misconduct comes with bullying, retaliation, blacklisting and as we’ve seen on this blog, false statements that are defamatory to the whistleblower.
If my recollection is correct, Dr Magdalen Connolly’s case was also about bullying.
Eh? · 6 August 2026 at 07:48
@EtonMess
No bullying? Arday called the rozzers on a jouro, threatened an academic investigating his work with a report of harassment and insinuated criticism of him was racially motivated to keep the story hidden.
Blacklisted · 6 August 2026 at 09:14
Harmful retaliation against those seeking to expose the truth is an MO.
It can take many forms, including allowing the obvious defamatory lies of others to be “taken very seriously”.
EtonMess · 6 August 2026 at 18:08
@Eh? and @Blacklisted
Good points, thank you.
I suppose the bullying cases I know of are rather extreme. My scale is off and needs adjusting.
The journalists and that academic were indeed bullied. In this case, journalists were in a unique position. Not clever to bully them.
The allegations that investigators are closet racists is another form of bullying, although I understand those ‘smear campaign’ allegations came from the spokesperson in the first instance. Not denying many headlines were racist- they are- but investigating research misconduct isn’t an inherently racist act. Eileen Nugent posted an interesting comment on the problems with such allegations. Anyway, it was satisfying to see that allegation backfire.
Cambridge artificially separates bullying from research misconduct. Most commentators know that bullying and research misconduct often go hand in hand. The bullies receive institutional support; the victims are further disempowered.

Old Schools Refugee · 6 August 2026 at 09:32
Cremin is already stepping down as head of education from October. That will probably be seen as enough to limit any further damage there.
Vira isn’t particularly implicated, unless he’s just had enough and decides to go anyway. His remarks when Arday was appointed will have been ghost written for him.
Morgan I’d count as one of the little people in the Old Schools, just following orders. It’d be difficult to fire any of the little people at this point, but some of them will be scapegoated at the next round of redundancies.
None of this matters if Cambridge tries to draw a line under this affair and changes nothing. The Graces are still relevant and important.
21percent.org · 6 August 2026 at 09:59
Whose orders is Morgan following?
TheResearcher · 6 August 2026 at 10:01
The line manager of Dr Morgan is Dr Andrew Jackson, who suggested the Head of POLIS as one of the “Responsible Persons” for my report of research misconduct. When I asked him if he knew the scandals of POLIS and why she could not act as “Responsible Person” he told me he did not know about the scandals.
The line manager of Dr Jackson is Dr Mike Glover, the Academic Secretary and acting Registrary.
EtonMess · 6 August 2026 at 18:57
@Old Schools Refugee
I’m inclined to defer to your opinion given your username. However, I’m sceptical about the characterisation of Dr Morgan as ‘one of the little people in the Old Schools.’ What is his full title? It cannot be insignificant.
There are now three cases in the public realm where his name is front and centre, but somehow he’s out of the picture:
Dr Arday,
Dr Connolly, and
ForBetterScience.
It’s always the same pattern. The case is out of scope, or it’s divided up into multiple different cases to weaken it, or somehow the real problem is denied out of existence according to the university. It seems apparent this official has significant power and control over investigative processes and likely sharpens his techniques with each case.
Personally, I’d not underestimate Dr Morgan.
Tick Tock · 6 August 2026 at 21:42
“The line manager of Dr Morgan is Dr Andrew Jackson, who suggested the Head of POLIS as one of the “Responsible Persons” for my report of research misconduct.”
Realistically I reckon they have weeks to a couple of months at best to resign – if they want to avoid experiencing the “full Arday”.

It’s good the pressure is being kept on the university. The more news, the better. Cambridge would’ve avoided this scandal had they investigated the research misconduct in the first place. The fact that they also didn’t investigate any of Dr Arday’s unbelievable claims, or even his false book, only gives more credibility to the allegations of covering up research misconduct. Who is investigated and who is not must be questioned in this public debate.
JJ · 6 August 2026 at 05:45
These things will be vanishing from the websites, get them while you can!
https://news.educ.cam.ac.uk/230223-jason-arday
Welcoming the appointment, Professor Bhaskar Vira, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education at the University of Cambridge, said: “Jason Arday is an exceptional scholar of race, inequality and education. He will contribute significantly to Cambridge’s research in this area and to addressing the under-representation of people from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds: especially those from Black, Asian, and other Minority Ethnic communities.”
“His experiences highlight the barriers faced by many under-represented groups across higher education and especially at leading universities. Cambridge has a responsibility to do everything it can to address this by creating academic spaces where everyone feels they belong.”
“We are making extensive efforts in this regard – including the expansion of the ‘Get In Cambridge’ programme which provides financial support to address systemic disadvantages and the lack of social and educational capital which often constrains the ability of minority ethnic students to continue with their education. A great deal remains to be done and Jason’s expertise will inform and enhance these ongoing endeavours.“
TheResearcher · 6 August 2026 at 07:32
“I am not privy to the hiring process for a professorial chair at Cambridge. I do not know exactly why and how Arday got the job or who else was in the running. But what happens when an academic’s story is sold through him being the “youngest black ever” (sitting alongside familiar monikers such as “the first black” or “black excellence”) and asterisked by a tale of hardship? You are not encouraged or invited to engage with the substance of their scholarship; instead, you are invited to clap. Instead of his appointment conjuring the question “what new opportunities for research will this lead to?”, it was “doesn’t this make you feel good?”
What this means is that Arday was treated not as a scholar but as a mascot, one who was particularly expedient for an institution that had been regularly embarrassed by its historic record on race: too few black students (in my cohort at Cambridge matriculating in 2015 there were only 15 black males out of 3,449 students); single-figure black academics (which is still the case); allegations of institutional racism. Independent of the merits or pitfalls of his own scholarship, what success looked like for Arday in this role was limited; what accountability could look like if misconduct occurred was constrained by him being a vehicle for Cambridge to signal its institutional progress.”

Arday in April 2026…

You’ve caught me [in] a thousand knots—how do I get myself out of this situation?””

“Great and Unfortunate Things, which Arday co-wrote with Eve Claxton, is still scheduled to come out next week from Simon & Schuster. The story that it tells should not be taken at face value; it differs notably from other versions of his life that Arday has shared in public and in private, including in the original proposal he sent out with his agent.”
TheResearcher · 7 August 2026 at 13:21
“the most disturbing inconsistencies arise from Arday’s book proposal, a copy of which was obtained by The Atlantic. That document, from 2024, cites several accolades of which no proof exists online. The proposal also lays out many of the same events as the memoir but with slightly different dates and details: The boys who beat him up were not his age but four years older; his suicide attempt happened before, not during, the pandemic. And whereas the book describes Arday as having survived two brain tumors, the proposal says he had a bout of testicular cancer. No reference to that illness appears in the memoir.”
TheResearcher · 7 August 2026 at 13:35
I strongly recommend The Atlantic’s article. It is full of pearls!
“Today, in academic circles, that’s what I’m known for,” he writes in his proposal. “Everybody says, ‘Jason is the guy that teaches everyone the tricks.’”
“There’s a moment near the end of Great and Unfortunate Things when Arday’s confidence begins to waver. He’s filling out his application for the professorship at Cambridge, and just then, as he draws to the brink of destiny, doubts begin to fill his mind. “What if I have completely overestimated my capabilities?” he writes. “What if my story ends up being a cautionary tale like Icarus about flying too close to the sun?””
