It appears that the gentleman who managed to commit academic fraud right up to being a very young prof. at a famous Ivy League University has committed suicide. I say appears cause who knows anymore what is actually true. And his suicide appears to be an excellent tool for dialectical media to attack the people who busted his fraudulent career, damaging many people who are actually deserving and their lifetimes of hard work, as well as clearly delivering inferior service to those who paid fortunes and worked extremely hard for the honour being his students.
But really, no matter. What he did or did not do as a result of being exposed is not the responsibility of the people who exposed it. It is the responsibility primarily of the people who committed the fraud, and secondarily the people who enabled it.
As I recall, we did post an article when his fraud was first discovered. We didn’t follow up with the story of his suicide because it isn’t relevant to this site or its purpose. This isn’t a news site. This is a site about trying to understand the forces at worktop destroy Western Civilization and their effectiveness. And how to stop it hopefully.
Alex Berenson did a good story on his death though. You can read that here.
Berenson appears to put most of the blame and the enablers. Maybe so.
Meanwhile, the purveyors of narrative, the ones that want to make moral equivalence between attackers and defenders, the ones who want to make the person exposing the crime guilty while the criminal is a victim, they are hard at work attacking those who exposed this pseudo-Prof.
A few articles on this below:
DEI Fraud and Cover-Up at Cambridge
“Wouldn’t it be the most ridiculous story ever told, if the boy who couldn’t read and write at 18 gets a PhD before he’s 30?”
Those are the words of Jason Arday—the 2002 Professorial Chair in the Sociology of Education at Cambridge University. Indeed, the story of his metamorphosis from arguably the most disadvantaged person in the UK to elite scholar-athlete-philanthropist would make even Walt Disney raise an eyebrow.
Born to Ghanaian parents, Arday grew up on a council estate (the British equivalent of Section 8 housing) in south London. At age three he was diagnosed with global development delay and autism. Therapists said he would be confined to an assisted living facility. Miraculously, at 11 years old, he spoke his first word (“hello”). When he was 18, he learned to read and write.
Under the influence of a white high school teacher who “gave [him] agency,” Arday pursued higher education. After receiving a PhD from Liverpool John Moores University, he rocketed up the academic ladder as a scholar of racism, education, and inequality. In three years he went from senior lecturer at Roehampton (2018) to associate professor at Durham (2019) to professor at Glasgow (2021). Ivy League universities (plural) tried to recruit him, but he had his heart set on Oxford or Cambridge. In 2023, at age 37, he became the youngest black full professor in the history of Cambridge. He is one of the youngest people of any race to ever hold a chair professorship at Oxbridge.
In his spare time, Arday ran 30 marathons in 35 days and 300 miles in three days.
As of 2023, he had worked with “more than 70” charities and raised more than £5 million.
And here we go…
The language used by the university is a pretty excellent example of how to turn a criminal into a victim and those who notice and point out the crime as the criminal. Remember, we are still in the Defacto stage of the conversion of Rule of Law to dialectical communism. The official nature of the revolution is coming fast. But they are still using the language you see in the Tweet to justify “investigation” and likely a law suit and other extralegal means of punishing him.
Speaking of frauds, it appears Spanish media used a Kuwaiti wealthy party girl to pretend to be an illegal migrant in Cueta being raped and abused by the locals. You may have seen the story, they are doing all they can to propagate it. They have an interview of her camped out on the street. But they don’t show her TikTok’s dancing in the Middle East.
