.. just as Simon & Schuster is printing his execrable book
quote:

Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor exposed for plagiarism and fabricating major aspects of his life story, has resigned. According to leading AI writing detection software Pangram, Arday's resignation letter is "Fully AI Generated" with "High Confidence."



quote:

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 Aug 5.

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.

I can understand bad decisions, but why is he covered in Vaseline for his graduation photo?

I'm convinced more than ever that elite schools get by on a reputation that doesn't match results.

Long day here at the office and about to go home.

Nothing like a pick-me-up to give me that boost in energy.

Figs will downvote this comment and thread but would jump with joy when someone was canceled by the violent left.

It even left out the best part. Cambridge previously fired him for raising the topic, and subsequently circled the wagon for Arday.

Dude is sweating his arse off hoping the scam doesn't fall apart. Thankfully, it eventually did.

There's a whole bunch of people at Cambridge and the other universities that hired and promoted this fabulist that need to be fired or 'retired' ASAP. Arday didn't foist this fraud upon the world by himself, he was enabled by a system that virtually guarantees there are dozens if not hundreds more just like him all over academia. There were warning signs that were ignored for years and a whole bunch of people were attacked, penalized, fired, for pointing out that Arday was a fraud. He can't be the only one that suffers consequences here.

The entire resignation letter is about what a victim he is. There is no acknowledgement of wrongdoing, no acceptance of responsibility, no contrition, nothing like that.

Cambridge should have terminated him instead of letting him resign, which they probably worked out.
