Cambridge’s youngest Black professor passes away following resignation
Jason Arday, who previously held a professorship at Cambridge, has died in London. His passing comes just nine days after he stepped down from his role following claims that he had plagiarized his PhD thesis. Arday had made history in 2023 by becoming the youngest Black individual to be appointed a professor at the university. London Mayor Sadiq Khan noted that Arday had faced intense pressure from the media. In a recent interview conducted earlier this month, Arday stated that the actions taken against him were driven by racism.
