    He was also investigated at Cambridge, but they concluded it was racially motivated so didn’t complete the process, despite concerns of his colleagues and students.

    Times Higher Education was preparing a major investigative story into his fabrication of medical study subjects and plagiarism of his students (allegedly with 68-pages worth of copied material including typos intact), but Arday hit them with a SLAPP action via the high-end law firm Carter-Ruck last autumn and they spiked the story.

    There are currently three investigations ongoing, at Jesus College, Cambridge University and Queens University Belfast, and calls for an investigation into the first investigation at Cambridge.

      It is a total cluster fuck.

      And siccing Carter-Fuck on TES isn’t a good look.
