The Shocking Case of Academic Fraud of Jason Arday
Executive Summary
- The case of Jason Arday demonstrates where DEI eventually goes, and now non-whites degrade white-founded institutions.
Introduction
In this article, we cover the shocking scandal involving Jason Arday at Cambridge University and provide near-comprehensive coverage of the topic and related topics. What makes this case study remarkable is how it touches on so many important issues and provides substantial evidence about what is happening with DEI policies and how universities now respond when plagiarism accusations are brought against DEI professors.

Harry, Megan and Arday Share a Focus on Emphasizing Mental Health
Notice also that as Harry and Meghan talk about and emphasize mental health, Arday did the same thing, claiming that the journalist who contacted him to ask about plagiarism allegations was damaging his mental health, leading him to call the police to bring criminal charges against a journalist. Then, in his resignation statement, he said he was resigning not because the plagiarism allegations were true, but to protect his mental health.
Getting back to the Cofna video.
At the 6:30 mark in the video, it cites Cofnas’s analysis of Arday’s thesis, titled (humorously) Dismantling Power and Privilege Through Reflexivity, Negotiating the Normative Whiteness in Eurocentric Curriculum, and Racial Microaggressions within the Academy, in which Cofnas identifies 100 instances of obvious and provable plagiarism. The video states that Liverpool’s John Moore, who awarded the PhD on the basis of the thesis, stated that it was mostly “honest and reasonable error and due to Arday’s autism, he absorbs information through mimicry.” One has to question whether that is true; if so, should Arday be a professor in the first place? All the excuses used just seem to reinforce the point that Arday is a DEI hire who is incapable of doing any original work and must “mimic”—i.e., copy the work of others.
Is it true that, due to autism, Arday had no idea he was presenting someone else’s work as his — at least 100 separate times? However, Plagiarism is not the end of the story with Arday, as he has also been caught making up parts of his backstory, apparently to both gain victim status and show how impressive his progress was. Arday was also caught adding universities he never attended to his resume, which raises the question: does autism, through mimicry, also lead you to add employers you never worked for to your resume?
Something else I’d like to note is that Arday’s family immigrated to the UK from Ghana to escape it, clearly showing a preference for the UK over Ghana. If Arday wanted to stay away from whiteness and a Eurocentric curriculum, he could have stayed in Ghana, where the university would have normative blackness and an African-centric curriculum. I’m not sure if Arday is saying the UK should be more like Ghana, but if he has such a preference for what he can find very easily in Ghana, why doesn’t he simply move back to Ghana instead of trying to turn the UK into Ghana? Essentially, Arday’s classes teach his students to become race scammers like he is, to function as parasites on society, and to show how you can lie and claim victim status for cash and prizes.
Notice also that his defenders completely disregard the theft of intellectual property from other academics and other journals, essentially saying that because of Arday’s race and his disability, he, rather than the actual people who were plagiarized, is the actual victim, and the excuses give Arday carte blanche to engage in plagiarism in the future.
Arday’s Motive in Getting More Incapable Blacks Hired as Professors
Jason Arday is simply going to promote more DEI black professors to get hired by Cambridge, regardless of any intellectual capabilities or ability to teach students anything of value.
Harassment is Any Questioning of Claims by Black Academics?
Andrews claims this constitutes harassment because Arday has been questioned for three years, and numerous people have pointed out Arday’s lies. This means that Andrews is in favor of the police being called on to investigate a reporter for a potential crime – for finding plagiarism and false statements by Arday and asking Arday and Cambridge about it. This shows the state of freedom of speech in the UK. One wonders whether, if the journalist were black, Andrews would also have supported this police investigation. Must an accuser of a black professor also be black to not be investigated by police?
Andrews wants Arday to keep his position and for no more questions to be asked….for the simple reason that Arday is black.
One would have to question the academics in universities like HBCUs and in African countries, because if all of the professors are black, one would question how any standards would be maintained if the default position of black professors is to allow massive academic misconduct.
HBCUs and Gang Attire
Forget academic standards, HBCUs in the US have a hard time restricting gang attire being worn by the students.
Do Black Professors Feel Duty-bound to Defend Plagiarism by Other Black Professors?
You can see the statement by the defending Black professor that the university investigated the plagiarism and found it was not plagiarism. And then, of course, the host notes that further allegations of plagiarism were made after this.
The Pattern of Universities Defending Plagiarists
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Oxford and Cambridge did not find Arday guilty of plagiarism, even though the plagiarism is completely obvious. Universities generally don’t act against professors accused of plagiarism until the public exposes it, causing the university reputational damage.
“Please — Just Let The University Do the Investigation Without Public Coverage?”
Here might be some more requests in this vein.

A Black Professor Defending Arday and Defending DEI
In this video, the guest states that he supports Arday and that the exposure of his false statements and plagiarism should not occur in the press, but should be performed by Cambridge.
See this video.
However, this is not how academic or research fraud is actually stopped. That is, without public scrutiny, the university will cover up the fraud because it is also something that got past them or that they are complicit in. What this guest is actually doing is supporting academic fraud — but for specific racial groups. Also, this guest proposes that the university specializes in finding plagiarism.
The truth is the exact opposite, as you can see stated in this video, that Cambridge both lied about the plagiarism and spend most of their energy defaming Arday’s accusers, and seeking to “wait out the news cycle,” such that Arday would keep his position. Nathan Cofnas states that Cambridge knew this the whole time and that it hired Arday and defended him, even though his work is appallingly bad — all so that Cambridge could say it had a black professor.
Nathan Cofnas on the Arday Case
However, as is pointed out by Nathan Cofnas, who was the first, or at least the first academic to accuse Arday (see this comment from a YouTube video — Simon Webb called out this charlatan three years ago, while the BBC and Channel 4 and the rest of the mainstream media were fawning all over him.) — anyone can easily see the plagiarism in Arday’s work. No specialized knowledge beyond being able to read is required. Arday’s defenders make it sound as if the allegations have not already been proven, even though they have. Rather than investigating Arday, Cofnas’s university investigated Cofnas instead. Cofnas had to sue the university. But basically ended his career at Cambridge for his negative views on DEI in general.
Cofnas is Deeply Offensive?
Cofnas’s views on DEI in academia have been described as “deeply offensive.” Cofnas has stated the following — as quotes from the Guardian article Playbooks, plagiarism and a pig’s head: new claims surrounding a star Cambridge professor.
Cofnas he suggested in a blogpost that, in a meritocracy, there would be “close to zero” black professors at Harvard. The British politician and activist Simon Woolley called the post “abhorrent racism, masquerading as pseudo-intellect”.
Certainly, it’s offensive to many; however, it’s also true.
Nathan Cofnas: Universities Tolerate No Diversity Politically
Furthermore, while Cambridge and academia broadly, the only diversity that they are interested in is race, and not political opinion, as universities have severe liberal litmus tests.
Nathan Cofnas: Cambridge Professors Were Gagged from Speaking
Cofnas points out that no Cambridge University professors commented on or called out Arday’s plagiarism, his other ridiculous statements, his fake university positions, or the fake book he claimed to have written, because Cambridge University would have retaliated against them.
This is a shocking allegation, but given Cambridge’s behavior, it seems to absolutely be true. This is very typical among liberals to oppose freedom of speech while claiming to be progressive. among liberals to oppose freedom of speech while claiming to be progressive.
Nathan Cofnas: Cambridge Professors Were Gagged from Speaking
Kaufman states that Arday knew exactly what he was doing because he plagiarized only people of low status in the academic community, increasing the likelihood that he would get away with it. This is a fascinating observation and something I had never considered before: Cofnas’s statement. It had never occurred to me that a plagiarist would select his victims in such a way. This entire case is a very important spyglass into how things work in universities.
Nathan Cofnas: How Arday Targeted Whom to Plagiarize Very Carefully
Furthermore, obviously plagiarizing a lesser-known work also increases one’s likelihood of going undetected. This means that less prominent academics have less intellectual property protection than higher-status academics. Cambridge’s behavior reinforces this, which must be considered in light of how blatant Arday’s plagiarism was. Arday plagiarized scholars from Africa and from journals such as the Turkish Journal of Online Education, as well as other lower-profile academics and sources. Cofnas states that Arday did not seem interested in plagiarizing full professors at major universities.
It is truly telling that Arday’s ability to write or think for himself is so poor that he had to rely so heavily on plagiarism from sources as elementary as the ones he plagiarized.
Nathan Cofnas: Arday Was Done in Not by Plagiarism, but By Other False Claims
Arday eventually resigned from his position at Cambridge University, and it’s difficult to say how much of that was due to pressure from Cambridge, as Arday himself states only that he found the unfair criticism of him no longer tolerable. However, according to Cofnas, it was not the plagiarism that eventually ended his career at Cambridge, but rather other false claims he made.
Cofnas claimed to hold positions at universities that have never heard of him, including Ohio State University and Glasgow University.
Was Arday Emboldened to Plagiarize Because He Was Black?
Cofna’s comments bring up an obvious question. If someone is white and plans to plagiarize, accusing their accusers of racism is not a viable strategy. However, this is a viable strategy, and it is deployed in nearly all cases where the plagiarist is Black.
One has to wonder how much knowing this defense emboldened Arday to plagiarize in the first place. Both white liberals and blacks have jumped to Arday’s defense, absolutely regardless of how blatant Arday’s plagiarism was.
University Professors Sign a Letter Defending Arday
This article covers more on Arday’s case.
Arday’s Inability to Teach and Present His Ideas
In the previous video, at the 5 minute and 45 second mark, Arday asks his advisor what Cambridge University can do to make hiring more blacks as professors in Cambridge a more common occurrence, which is quite amazing, given the fact that Jason Arday is a fake academic who is wholly unqualified to work in either Cambridge or any university. Furthermore, Cambridge already knew that Arday was incompetent and did not care.
This is quoted in the following YouTube video.
Apparently it was an open secret at Cambridge that Arday was incompetent…a student asked another supervisor to stay and listen to the ‘lecture’ and he was quite shocked, however they said it was best not to say anything, because fear of being branded prejudiced or worse.
And this quote.
It’s my understanding that the complaints against Arday’s teaching started shortly after he began at Cambridge. Students were annoyed that he showed up late and left early.
On one occasion, he spent one hour in the classroom when the class was supposedly a four-hour class. According to a number of students: when Arday WAS in class, he mostly spent the time telling stories about his own life, as opposed to covering what the class was supposed to be about. The complainants also felt that they were not being supervised adequately.
Quite a number of students discussed these issues with administrators well before the Arday situation blew up. Administrators told students they were looking into the allegations… This being said, there are a lot of crappy college professors who do whatever they like with impunity. Certainly they’re not fired for telling tall tales or for rambling on about their lives! Prominent professors are protected to a huge degree by college administrations. If there are concerns specifically about teaching, professors are offered all kinds of support, including “training”; unless the pedagogical issues involve actually abusing students in one way or another, the institutions will bend over backwards to make sure the professor stays. I’m sure there is no small number of professors at Cambridge who behave pretty similarly to the way Arday did, except they might be a bit more academically prepared for their jobs.
Given how bad Arday’s lectures were, it’s impossible that Cambridge had not been apprised of Arday’s incompetence. But a new revelation—from this video—that I was about to insert was removed by Google for the ridiculous claim that it violated Google’s harassment and bullying policy.
However, at the 24:00 mark in the video, it states that Arday was not even teaching any classes at Cambridge because he had been accused of plagiarism 3 months after being hired. I have not seen that explained in any of the coverage of the Arday scandal. This would mean that Arday was providing lectures in some cases, but not part of any class.
- This brings up another topic: if Arday was not teaching and was not doing any research, then what was Arday doing at Cambridge?
- By not requiring Arday to teach and not expecting research, Arday essentially had a fake professor, which they had to put in bubble wrap, and which would have been a liability if they had allowed him to do any of the jobs, any of the tasks of a professor. However, he was useful to employ as a token of the university’s progressiveness and liberalism.
It’s very telling that Google does not want anyone knowing this information: that Arday was a fake professor. And they have used a fake accusation against the video related to bullying and harassment to have the video removed from public view. It’s telling that Google doesn’t want anyone to know this information: that Arday was a fake professor. And they have used a fake accusation against the video related to bullying and harassment to have the video removed from public view. I’m frustrated that Google opposes freedom of speech at least as much as Cambridge University. I’m frustrated that Google opposes freedom of speech at least as much as Cambridge University.
Creating a New Cambridge DEI Campus?
Cambridge has an endowment of over $2.5 billion, and they can certainly afford to employ a very large number of DEI hires, who can be given fake professorships and kept away from students and from research, and can be free to simply enjoy their lives by walking around the university, hanging out in the library, and socializing. Cambridge could allocate a part of the campus, or build on a DEI section of the present campus, where this sort of country club for DEI hires can be set up. Interestingly, even though Arday taught no classes and did no research, the Cambridge website states the following about Arday on this profile.
He has established himself as a leading scholar in his field, publishing extensively on subjects including the experiences of black students in universities and the under-representation of ethnic minorities in academic careers and the long-term impacts of racial discrimination in education.
How DEI Hiring Practices Promote Plagiarism
If universities hire on the basis of race and sex, and therefore DEI, those unqualified individuals will very naturally display high levels of plagiarism, as they are unable to perform the intellectual work to come up with their own ideas and will seek to steal ideas from others. It is very well known that black academics have very high levels of plagiarism, with frequent plagiarism being discovered among Black academics. And with universities dedicated to DEI, this will further corrupt universities, leading them to defend plagiarism among their DEI hires to defend their DEI programs.
In this interview, Arday claims that he entered university at 20 years of age but had the reading ability of a nine-year-old. That story is extremely bizarre. How did Arday then complete his undergraduate program with the reading level of a nine-year-old?
Even the interviewer asks Arday if that’s actually possible. Arday states that he overcame his nine-year-old reading ability at a university because of his indomitable will. This would mean Arday was allowed to graduate without demonstrating competence.
The entire story makes little sense if one looks at it from the position of merit (that is, without the university just handing him a degree on DEI principles), because if he can only read at the level of a nine-year-old, then he would not be able to read the books that were assigned to him in the first year, even, that he started his undergraduate education.
Here was his quote after resigning his post.
While criticism is inevitable, what I have experienced has gone far beyond scholarly disagreement. The relentless accusations and speculation of public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those that I love. This (his resignation) should not be mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me.
At the 3:30 mark in the video, Brendan Borrell of Retraction Watch states that plagiarism is taken less seriously. When caught for plagiarism, one claim is that it was just sloppiness in referencing. This is sort of an amazing claim, given that referencing is so simple to do, and that it is truly impossible not to realize what you wrote and what you did not write. Referencing is essentially one of a researcher’s job responsibilities.
Why the Claim of “Referencing Errors” is a Cover Story for Plagiarism
I have been criticized for including too many quotes in my articles; however, I never want to represent others’ ideas as my own, so I use the exact quote, provide the link, and add my commentary.
This is very easy to do. You do it when you add the quote to the blog post or the document you are working on. There is no complexity to this, and no question about which parts are my writing and which are the quote. Academics who cannot or refuse to do this need not work in academia, as it means the professor is making a living from stealing other people’s words, ideas, and intellectual property.
Arday Finds Research Difficult?
At the 4:47 mark in the video, a presentation is shown in which Arday states…
This may seem like a crazy thing to say, but I don’t really like research and I find it difficult — being an academic is really really difficult.
Arday Can Only Read One Page of Academic Writing per Hour?
Furthermore, in his book, he states that he can only read one page of academic writing per hour.
Yes, because Arday is cosplaying as an academic and cannot be one. He cannot come up with his own ideas, and therefore he should have been filtered out of the academic system long ago. Arday is not just an academic; he demonstrates below-average intelligence. Another indicator of his intelligence level is that he repeatedly makes up fake stories with very extreme claims, without concern for whether they are realistic.
My Hypothesis of Universities That Turn a Blind Eye to Plagiarism
Universities that function this way obviously will behave in the same manner if other areas of research are falsified. The strategy is to deny, then claim that the accusers are bigoted in some way, then announce an investigation, and extend it as long as possible in the hope that the accusers forget the allegation.
The Effect of Universities on Hiring Black Professors into Universities
The fact is that black academics on a yearly basis contribute extraordinarily little of value to academics and to thought, and actually, most of the contributions, if you want to call them that, of black academics, can be considered negative intellectual property, because so much of what they produce is either false or plagiarized. Another example of this is black history, which produces enormous numbers of false claims about previous black accomplishments.
Liberals and Even Some Conservatives (Particularly Black) Think the Story is Overemphasized
In this video, you can see a black conservative saying he doesn’t see why it’s such a big story and that he feels sorry for Arday. Then the female commentator says the story basically fuels certain unappealing people. In her comments, she states the following.
Unfortunately its a gift to certain right wing leaning sections of the media who are always railing against the culture wars, WOKEness, DEI. I too have found myself concerned for this guy (Arday).
So according to this liberal commentator, the The fact that Arday was totally unqualified, that he engaged in mass plagiarism, that he is a borderline illiterate Cambridge University DEI hire, that he called the police on his accusers to get them brought up on criminal charges, that he hired a law firm to engage in lawfare against his critics, that Cambridge University intimidated its professors into not commenting on the case, and so on and so on, is simply a story because of these unappealing right-wing people who are latching onto it and blowing it out of proportion. Right-wing people appear to want qualified professors to be teaching in schools, to not allow professors to get away with plagiarism, to not allow speech to be silenced on universities, and thinking any of these things makes you a right-wing deplorable – at least in this woman’s eyes.
What’s interesting is that the actions of Arday and Cambridge University are actually incredibly extreme. Heck, somebody would have to be quite unaware of the details of this case not to consider it extremely newsworthy, and the question should be asked, and the topic investigated: how much of this is happening at other universities? And the problem is that it is not restricted to Cambridge, as DEI policies and unqualified DEI professors are commonly hired in the UK, the US, and other countries. There are many quotes like this that can be easily found indicating universities in white-founded countries are diverging from merit.
Worked my way through a PhD program over 10 years. Some top-tier publications, several more conf. presentations, 5 years teaching as an adjunct. Ground-breaking dissertation, fruition of 10 years of primary-source research. Still, the university where I worked wanted to hire a Spanish-speaker. He had little to no potential for impactful future publication, though an aim emphasized in the job description. By the time I had another good opportunity, my age was a detriment. Now, with the advent of AI, I have no confidence that anyone is doing original work in academia. It is a ship long sunk.
So the story is much larger than Arday. And I believe that plagiarism is extremely common not only among black professors, but among blacks in general.
Simon Webb has pointed out many cases of plagiarism or extremely poor academic work by black professors for quite some time. And in the following video, Simon Webb points out that many blacks and white liberals are circling the wagons to try to keep this story localized to Cambridge and for the discussion not to open up more broadly onto black plagiarism and incompetent black professors who are being hired at universities. I have covered this topic in the article The Higher Levels of Plagiarism by Blacks And Other Non-Whites.
However, the only search engine where this article is easy to find is Yandex. When I searched for plagiarism by Black professors on other search engines, I got the Arday case. However, black plagiarism goes back many decades and is a much bigger issue than Arday. Arday is merely an example of black academic plagiarism.
On these topics, there is massive censorship across all search engines except Yandex, because it is outside Russia. Whenever a topic is heavily censored, I always use Yandex; if it were to disappear, finding uncensored content would be a serious problem. I cover search-engine censorship in my articles.
According to Google, Hate Speech is Entirely Based Upon Who is a Protected Group

Search Engine Free Speech Only on Yandex?
However, even on Yandex, I could not find another article on black plagiarism or plagiarism by black professors other than my own, even though this is obviously a major, common feature among black people. It is so bad that I think it’s very unlikely that the vast majority of black professors are not engaging in plagiarism.
In response to this knowledge of the commonality of black plagiarism, the liberal outlets have not only defended our side, but are creating a pretext or cover story to keep people from investigating plagiarism by black professors, as is found in the following quotes from
The Guardian article Playbooks, plagiarism and a pig’s head: new claims surrounding a star Cambridge professor.
Conservative “activists” were trawling through the work of black academics, looking for anything to use against them: inconsistencies, citation errors, passages in their work that were similar to existing papers.
Claudine Gay, the first black woman to become president of Harvard, was only in the post for seven months before she was forced out over plagiarism allegations.
Claudine Gay Was Forced Out as President of Harvard Only Due to Allegations of Plagiarism?
Claudine Gay was not forced out as president of Harvard because of plagiarism allegations, but because those allegations proved true. And she wasn’t even forced out of the university; she is still a professor there and earns $900,000 per year. She could not have been forced out, most likely because she is Black. And while reviewing Claudine Gay’s writing, the entire case raised the question of how such an incompetent and unqualified academic even got hired at Harvard, much less became its president. The Claudine Gay case was a spyglass into how extreme DEI hiring has become at universities.
This quote about Gay from the article “Claudine Gay, Plagiarist” is instructive about Gay’s value-add as a professor at Harvard and why she was hired.
Claudine Gay is a pseudointellectual who specialises in being a Diverse Black Female Academic. She first served as a Diverse Black Female Academic at Stanford University, before leaving to become a Diverse Black Female Academic at Harvard University. In 2018, Harvard decided it would be even more Diverse of it to make Gay the Diverse Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and in 2023 it thought it could achieve a new pinnacle of Diversity by making her its first Diverse Black Female President.
Because Gay’s importance derives entirely from being a Diverse Black Female Academic, she is an underqualified mediocrity, and she has never published anything interesting. In fact, relative to the average tenured Harvard professor, she has never published much of anything at all.
And according to The Guardian and liberals generally, Gay needs to keep her position because she is black. Clearly, The Guardian is very salty about Gay losing her position as University President, and has greatly understated the fact that Gay’s plagiarism was proven — and would like the public to believe that only evil right-wing conservatives wanted Gay removed.
Liberal Censorship of the Arday Scandal Case Study
Something The Guardian leaves out is that liberal media did everything they could to try to cover up the story, and once exposed, they now want to stop other stories like this from gaining traction. This is explained very well in the following video.
David Starkey and Nathan Cofnas discuss being kicked out of Cambridge for critiquing DEI, which the Guardian would totally support, and which the Guardian and other media did not cover. Isn’t it interesting that the Guardian and liberals approve of people being fired from their jobs for critiquing DEI, but do not support DEI professors being removed for any reason whatsoever?
Cambridge University Position is that Cofnas Has No Right to Freedom of Speech
At the 22:30 mark in the video, Cofnas states that Cambridge University’s attorney said he did not have freedom-of-speech protection because his views on race and comments on hereditarianism aren’t rooted in scholarly competence.
No Ability to Do Averages or Perhaps Division?
At the 37-minute mark in the video, Cofnas states that after reviewing Arday’s writing, he considers it very unlikely that Arday could perform even basic calculations.
Cambridge University holds up Arday as one of its great scholars, as stated in both videos and on Arday’s profile on the website. In this video interview, Kofnas, in addition to discussing his work, demonstrates strong mathematical ability. Therefore, his opinion on Arday’s math capabilities is highly credible.
And this is the person that liberals have jumped over barrels to defend, and that even British politicians have defended against what they call vile attacks against a black professor.
Understanding WOKE-ism
At the One-minute mark in the video, Kaufness observes that, in his opinion, WOKE-ism (which at this point is indistinguishable from modern liberalism) requires that its adherents believe that all races have identical capabilities. Wokeism, the adoption of wokeism, results in the victim looking at the world and being unable to make any sense of it because of the obvious discrepancies. Because of their adherence to the ideology, they have to search for institutional reasons for these discrepancies. And the only conclusion they can be allowed to come to is that, as Cofnas states…
The world is full of injustice, tracing back to colonialism and racism that have caused these disparities and “we” really need to correct them as soon as possible so that the next Samsung will be in the Congo or Nigeria because there is no reason that it shouldn’t be. They see a black person who in this case is nearly mentally disabled (referring to Arday), they can’t see it that way.
What the Guardian Demands
The Guardian does not want either David Starkey or Nathan Cofnas to celebrate being 100% validated in their non-woke views. You see, in the Guardian’s mind, whenever a conservative ends up being right, they should never talk about it because that hurts the Guardian’s and the liberals’ feelings. The Guardian and liberals in general want all plagiarism accusations against DEI hires to be punished so severely through professional retaliation that no one even thinks of making these claims in the future.
Now let’s return to the Guardian article.
Black Academics Feel Like Sitting Ducks Vis-à-vis Plagiarism Allegations?
Others said they felt like “sitting ducks” as their work was pulled apart. Some academics have killed themselves after being hounded out of their positions.
What’s amusing about this is that any person who is not engaged in plagiarism has nothing to fear from people looking at his work to try to find plagiarism. And now The Guardian brings up the ludicrous premise that black academics are committing suicide to keep from being accused of plagiarism. The Guardian’s way of saying is that these far-right-wing conservatives are making black professors kill themselves by bringing plagiarism accusations. But notice that The Guardian says nothing about whether these plagiarism accusations are true, because in every case I’ve looked at, they are.
However, it’s clear that The Guardian is telling its readers that the people really doing the wrong thing here are not the professors engaging in plagiarism, but the people pointing it out.
In the following quote, The Guardian aligns itself directly with Arday and Arday’s claim that professors who stand by and allow plagiarism allegations to be investigated against black professors are allowing their fellows to suffer for no reason.
“The instruments that are designed to protect academic integrity, designed to protect our wellbeing and our intellectual property, are weaponised,” he told the audience in April.
He called for his peers to defend him. “There isn’t any room to sit there and watch your fellows suffer for no reason. It’s abhorrent, it’s a disgrace and, quite frankly, evil,” he added. “That’s the cancer that we need to eradicate from academia.”
Yes, according to Arday, plagiarism accusations are a cancer that needs to be eradicated from academia. Not the plagiarism, the plagiarism accusations.
An open letter in support of Arday, signed by the Green party leader, Zack Polanski, and the prominent black studies academic Kehinde Andrews, argued there was “an orchestrated and grim effort to delegitimise a brilliant, young, working-class academic for the sin of being successful while Black”.
Andrews States that Black Professors are Being Falsely Discredited With Plagiarism Accusations Then End Up Being True
If plagiarism weren’t so common among black professors, there would be no way to delegitimize them by bringing allegations of plagiarism that, in every case I have analyzed, prove true. Kendi Andrews is a black professor himself who was hired under DEI and would not be a professor without DEI. He must certainly know how common plagiarism is among black professors but does not care. And how they can be called brilliant and hardworking when he is known to be neither is actually quite interesting.
Remember that Andrews said in the video earlier in this article that Arday’s plagiarism was not actually plagiarism, but was just “not the best scholarship.”
Observing the Obvious Pattern of Black Plagiarism Sets the Study of Race Back 20 Years
But prominent academics of colour that the Guardian spoke to said the claims of plagiarism were legitimate, and that Arday’s alleged actions risked undermining others who study race.
Some of Arday’s peers said the fallout from the row could send shockwaves through academia and set the study of race in Britain back 20 years.
Ahh….so according to other black academics, the claims of plagiarism against Arday may be true, and if true, they may set back the study of race in Britain by 20 years. It’s difficult to even understand what that means. It seems that the study of race in Britain means continuing to hire unqualified black professors and turning a blind eye to plagiarism allegations.
One academic, who has worked in the area of race and education for decades and spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity, said the accusations against Arday were worrying. “I think it’s plagiarism and it’s obvious,” they said.
That is interesting. So why did The Guardian start off this article by leveling a series of personal attacks and questioning the motives of what they call far-right-wing conservatives?
The tone of the coverage from rightwing publications has been a mix of outrage and “I-told-you-so” self-righteousness, with the Telegraph describing Arday as a “diversity poster boy”, and his online accusers all sharing a critical view of diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
The Guardian is very unhappy with anyone who would have a problem with DEI policies which promote merit-free hiring on the basis of race. And the Guardian is extremely salty that what these people said would happen actually happened.
Therefore, the Guardian is both unhappy that the plagiarism allegations are true and that they reinforce what critics of DEI say about DEI.
In an interview with the Times on Friday, he suggested the issue had been blown out of proportion. “I am accountable for the mistakes I’ve made,” he said. “I hold myself accountable and other people should hold me accountable. We’re talking about academia here. I didn’t murder somebody. I think the cruelty that I’ve experienced, and the positioning of me as this kind of liar and fantasist, is totally unacceptable.”
Certainly, no one would like this. However, it’s not true that Arday holds himself accountable. That’s why he called the police on two of his accusers, because he does not want to be held accountable and he wants to play the race card. And no one is talking about criminal charges against Arday, so the comparison to murder doesn’t really make any sense. The cruelty Arday refers to is simply a matter of accountability. And the fact that the claims of him being a liar and a fantasist are completely proven at this point. Therefore, it’s not only acceptable, but desirable, and the only logical conclusion that can be derived from the evidence.
At this point in the article, The Guardian goes into lengthy coverage of Arday’s biography; however, most of these claims have already been proven false.
At the age of three, the south Londoner was diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay. He was unable to speak until he was 11 and could not read or write until 18. Despite that, he forged an impressive academic career, mostly focusing on race and education, with stints at Roehampton, Glasgow and Durham universities.
From 17, Arday began completing charity challenges to raise money for various causes. They were often endurance challenges, which began when he was taking a BTec course in sport and development at Merton college in Morden, south London.
The Guardian also asked Arday about his claim to have run 600 miles in six days, an achievement that would make him one of the world’s most gifted endurance runners. (The first woman to achieve the feat, Megan Eckert, only managed it last year; the men’s record is 650 miles.) He said that because of the “cumulative wear and tear of training” from his previous running challenges he “had to put rest days in between the running days just to finish” the 600-mile challenge, which was actually completed over a 12-day period.
The Guardian article goes on to repeat a number of statements by Arday about how he received death threats and so on. However, Arday is again not a reliable source of information on either his academic area or what has transpired since the accusations surfaced. One can only get caught in so many lies before one’s credibility is called into question on any statement the individual makes.
In an open letter to the government minister Jacqui Smith in July 2025, which outlined Arday’s experiences, he claimed to have been “threatened with a knife, physically assaulted and spat on; [had] rape and death threats being made to him and his family; bananas and bullets being posted to him via the university campus; and corrosive substances and mutilated animals sent to his family home”. In a subsequent interview with the Guardian, Arday claimed to have been confronted at his faculty building on two separate occasions by a masked man threatening to harm him if he did not resign, and evading detection both times. On the second occasion Arday said the intruder produced a knife and threatened him with it.
All of that is very difficult to believe and to corroborate with any evidence. And who would be doing this exactly? A distraught Cambridge University professor? Or an angered Cambridge University student? The way Arday is talking, it sounds like he doesn’t live in Cambridge but in a black-run city like Detroit or Baltimore.
Simon Webb on an Epidemic of Black Professor Fraud
Simon, through his YouTube channel History Debunked, was one of the earliest to call out Arday for plagiarism. And he points out something that is quite obvious at this point, which is that it is extremely common for black professors, but I’ll extend it to also black students, to engage in plagiarism.
In this video, Simon Webb points out that the publisher of his life story certainly knew that Arday was borderline illiterate and had lied many times about it, and that the evidence he gives is that the false claims Arday made were watered down by this publisher rather than being questioned. Therefore, this black manager at the publisher was willing to publish false information to promote the black cause. This is a constant issue with blacks: they do not seem to adhere to the idea that things should be true. Even after Arday’s complete exposure as a serial liar and plagiarist, the publishing company is still going forward and publishing his life story.
I also cover the plagiarism of Martin Luther King in this article How MLK Should Have Been Stripped of His Doctorate Because of Plagiarism
As with Arday, MLK lacked the ability to get a PhD on his own merit and was coddled through the process by white liberals.
Universities that encourage hiring more black people have to lower their standards, and because the vast majority of them are unable to do the work, they will naturally have to plagiarize. And long story short, this means that the inclusion of more blacks into institutions that were created by whites is increasing the level of corruption and reducing the freedom of speech and academics of those institutions.
This may seem like a shocking and uncomfortable claim. However, if we look at universities that are entirely black, such as universities in Africa or HBCUs in the United States, what we observe is extraordinarily low levels of contributions to intellectual property and problems with even managing the universities as a going concern.
Are There Thousands of Jason Ardays?
This video claims that there are thousands of “Jason Ardays” and that all you have to do is base your work on politically correct views to succeed in academia.
One commentator states that one subject being approved of in universities is how to incorporate queer communism into society.
Conclusion
What Happens When Universities are 100% Black?
If the only universities that existed were run by black people and, let’s say, 100% black, the overall reputation of universities would be severely diminished.
History of the Universities in Nigeria
This video highlights Nigeria’s failure to develop universities of any quality. Both Nigerian universities and Nigerian primary and secondary education have failed to teach proper English reading, writing, and speaking, even though English is the language of instruction and the country’s official language. Nigerian English, like British English, has degraded to the point of becoming a type of pidgin English, and the longer it has been since independence, the more it has degraded. Nigerians are now in many ways unintelligible even to English speakers in other African countries.
At the 11:50 mark, the host states that professors and administrators in Nigerian universities can be bribed to provide grades and even graduate students who are unqualified.
Beyond the education itself, Nigeria also struggles to maintain school buildings properly, and chronic undernutrition undermines education. Most students need to share books because there are not enough to go around, and the shortage of resources means that, in some cases, students have to stand because there are not enough desks. This suggests that students should be able to bring their own folding chairs to class. As the host points out, there are simply too many students for Nigeria’s schools’ educational capacity, with many classrooms having 500 students. Is this what Arday would like to see in schools in white-founded countries? The problem is that you can’t really focus on curriculum when schools are completely overcrowded, when people stand for hours, when they don’t have sufficient textbooks, when the bathrooms don’t work properly, and when students are undernourished or malnourished.
Notice that, compared to other countries, Nigeria has the majority of its primary and secondary schooling in private hands, with the government providing very little money to dilapidated, unsustainable public schools. In South Africa, which has a much higher ratio of public schools to private schools, nearly all of the taxes that are used to educate blacks are paid by whites. Another country in sub-Saharan Africa can have such a high percentage of public schools because no other country in sub-Saharan Africa has a significant white population that can be taxed to pay for schools. This essentially means that blacks in South Africa are functioning as parasites on the small number of white taxpayers, while at the same time the South African government does everything it can to discriminate against whites. While the ANC hates whites, without the white population, South Africa’s primary and secondary education would be much closer to Nigeria’s. Interestingly, the country on this chart with the highest percentage of public schools is not a white country but Japan.
Liberals will never comment on this. Instead of admitting what an abject failure decolonized African education has become, the liberal solution is to import as many Africans into white countries as possible to displace the white population and to allow them to bring black practices into those institutions.
The Obvious That Can Never Be Stated
And what is never pointed out is that all schooling in sub-Saharan African countries was far better under colonial rule. What liberals and blacks in general cannot admit is that colonialism was the high point for each of these countries, and they will have a difficult time ever recovering that level unless they pay non-blacks to run their countries.
What black leaders say and what Africans say is that their countries are in such terrible condition because they are recovering from colonialism. However, all sub-Saharan African countries have declined in every dimension since gaining independence. In the example I already provided, Nigeria is losing its ability to even speak standard English and has regressed to pidgin English. The host of this video, called Bantu City Diaries, and his accompanying website, Bantu Page, show a rare African who’s willing to question the liberal narrative.
At the end of the video, the host compares the value of a Nigerian degree to that of a roll of toilet paper. The host points out that the majority of Nigerians would love to send their children to schools in white-originated countries. However, the problem with that is the same problem that we see with Arday, is that the more of them that are allowed to enter those universities, the more that they will degrade those universities, ask for standards to be lowered, ask for DEI, ask for a blind eye to be turned on the topic of plagiarism, allowing them to plagiarize without consequence, and level accusations of racism against anyone who questions their cheating. Secondly, this undermines the standards and objectives of the university and also affects non-Black students who have to attend classes with black students. This problem is found in the following quotation.
Have a look at typical inner city American schools. Unfortunately, (they are) completely dominated and made useless by the black students.
It isn’t new. My education in Florida USA 1979 was very much much debilitated by the black students. I resent that.
I had this exact experience as my high school was bused and was half black, which detracted from the educational experience. The businesses and shops that were right next to my high school also did not appreciate it, as they were faced with high levels of black misbehavior and shoplifting, which caused the high school to restrict any student from leaving the campus during the lunch hour. And because the high school could not set a racial policy that only blacks could not leave the high school during the lunch hour, all of the white children lost the rights that they had prior to the high school having blacks bused into it.
This also, of course, meant that the businesses lost all the business, at least during the lunch hour, that normally came from students leaving to buy food and shop for other items.
Ghana’s Schools Introduce a Ridiculous Alternative Non-Scaling Number System
This video shows a new number system being rolled out in Ghana, which is where Aretha and his family are from. At one point in the video, an administrator states that this numbering system is necessary because many female students are intimidated by the Indian Arabic numbering system, which causes them to drop out of school. How can it be that so many Ghanaian students cannot learn the Indian Arabic numbering system?
When you look at the accomplishments of black universities, should blacks really be allowed to attend white-originated universities and then tell them a number of areas where they need to improve?
When Arday talks about Dismantling Power and Privilege Through Reflexivity, Negotiating the Normative Whiteness in Eurocentric Curriculum — is this what Arday would like to replace it with? A black African centric approach? What can universities take from Ghana, or any other African country, for that matter, that will improve the educational outcomes in white-originated countries? You see, no white liberal would ever say anything like this to Arday, because it would be considered exceedingly rude. However, Arday is free to critique any white institution and make claims that, by following a non-white approach, everything will be improved, all while refusing to live in that home country. You see, no white liberal would ever say anything like this to Arday, because it would be considered exceedingly rude and a “cheap shot.” Arday’s country also cannot be critiqued by liberals, because according to liberals, all societies are equally valid, regardless of the outcomes that they produce. However, Arday does not follow the same rules as liberals are free to critique any white country and any institution and make claims that, by following a non-white approach, everything will be improved, all while refusing to live in that home country. All of this will come, of course, from hiring more black professors and allowing them to engage in plagiarism and holding them to no standards whatsoever.
As with all other black professors and blacks in general, they are free to make accusations against whites and white societies, such as placing the entire burden of slavery on whites, and not be questioned. And if they are questioned, to be allowed to contradict the questioning with claims of racism.
Why the Ability of Blacks to Contribute Positively to Universities in White-Founded Countries
The performance of universities that are all black naturally leads to the conclusion that the abilities of blacks to contribute to non-black universities are not only extremely low, but are essentially negative, where blacks function as a parasite on universities that they are somehow admitted to and DEI-ed into being professors.
When institutions where the student body and the professors and administrators are 100% black, the universities function at an extremely low level. And without colonization and/or interactions with societies and races outside of sub-Saharan Africa, there would be no universities anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, blacks are being enfranchised to attend and be professors and administrators in institutions they could never have created on their own.
The ANC Says It’s Unacceptable for Afrikaners to Start Their Own Universities
After over 30 years of ANC rule, the black involvement in South African universities has been to ruin them, turn them into political stomping grounds, engage in massive censorship, and unending black protests. In response, Afrikaners have decided to start their own universities with their own money.

No Afrikaner-Only Universities Should be Allowed?
According to ANC officials, it’s unacceptable for Afrikaners to start their own universities that are just for them, even though the only effect of allowing blacks into the previous universities created under the apartheid era has been to degrade them. Whatever the Afrikaners build, the blacks in South Africa must have access to it, even though they can’t contribute anything positive to them.

What would be great is for all the white students to transfer away from the previous Afrikaner-created universities under the apartheid era to these new Afrikaner universities, making the old Afrikaner universities 100% black. As soon as that happens, the previous universities will become irrelevant, and the only good universities left in the country will be the new Afrikaner universities that only have Afrikaners allowed into them.

As soon as that happens, the previous universities will become irrelevant, and the only good universities left in the country will be the new Afrikaner universities that only have Afrikaners allowed into them. This would also free up many seats for black South Africans to get a university education — however, the ANC politicians know that, without whites, the university will fall apart, so they need some whites to stay at the universities that they intend to take over.
More Analysis on the Arday Case
Steve Attridge here points out that Arday was a manufactured character, propped up by liberals at several universities. Attridge states that Arday may become a type of celebrity. I would agree with this, particularly among white liberals and blacks. He has now been martyred.
The Dominance of Blacks in the Violence Statistics in the US
Why Other Races Flee Black Areas
Whites and other races flee from blacks for very good reasons. In the US blacks are the number one racial group that victimizes other racial groups with violent crime. Black culture is harmful to both blacks and anyone else who is around blacks. Blacks themselves know this. However, they don't usually admit it to other races and prefer to blame everything else but themselves. For blacks to effectively race scam -- they have to hold the position that blacks behave the same and deserve the same outcomes as other races.
All Races Are the Same?
This is a part of the root of the problem. This proposal that all races are the same had no evidence to support it, yet it was asserted because it was politically correct. It was an appealing lie to believe because it "felt good."
Once this idea took hold, it now became a platform to say that all races should have the same things, and this has primarily been interpreted as non-whites invading white spaces and countries and taking their society from them.
Blacks want white outcomes, but because they can't produce white outcomes on their own, they have to invade white societies to obtain them, and their tool is not producing these things themselves but by taking them through living in white-originated societies.
The Repeating Pattern Seen Everywhere Blacks Exist
When blacks move into a neighborhood, that area becomes undesirable. Shoplifting increases, violence increases, and sexual assault increases. This leads to stores closing and a downward spiral for that area. The higher the percentage of the population that is black, the more predominant this and many other negative behaviors become as they begin to behave in conformance with black culture and expectations rather than conforming.
What Would Happen if the US Had No Blacks?
Blacks are a massive civilization threat to any country, society, or city that accepts them. All countries, except white countries, have figured out not to have blacks live in their borders.
Here is some food for thought: “What if all the Blacks suddenly left America, which is 13.3% of the total U.S. population?” and these statistics would improve.
- Amount of people in poverty would drop - 34%
- The prison population would go down - - 37%
- Welfare recipients would go down by - - - 42%
- Gang members would go down by - - - - - 53%
- Chlamydia cases would go down by - - - - - 54%
- Homelessness would go down - - - - - - - - 57%
- Syphilis would go down - - - - - - - - - - - - 58%
- AIDs & HIV would go down - - - - - - - - - - 65%
- Gonorrhea would go down - - - - - - - - - - 69%
- Average ACT scores would go up - - - - - - 5.5 points
- Average IQ would go up - - - - - - - - - - - - 7.4 points, (this is how much only 13% of the population in drags down IQ scores) This would put the U.S. 3rd in the world tied with Japan
- Average SAT scores would go up almost - - - 100 points
- The average income for Americans would go up over $20,000 a year
Blacks are major users of subsidies from the rest of the taxpaying population. This burden (some of which used to help blacks reproduce more blacks) would be lifted from the rest of the population
The effect on cities would be profound. All of the predominantly black cities from Detroit to East St Louis to Baltimore to Atlantic City, Wilmington Deleware -- every city would experience an immediate and radical improvement.
Blacks as a Civilizational Threat
Blacks are a civilizational threat to any area, any city, and they seek to infiltrate white cities and countries because they have no ability to create functional societies, as I cover in the article What Happens When Blacks Take Over Management of Cities and Countries from Whites? Therefore, blacks need to infiltrate a society or city that is already built up by another group -- with the inevitable outcome that the area is ruined when a sufficient number of blacks are present.
