The story of Jason Arday is one of the strangest and yet embarrassingly sad representations of political correctness, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion running amok. [Recap of Absurd Stories Here]
After one of the most ridiculous and absurd life stories was seemingly accepted by the Cambridge University academic community, they raised Jason Arday to a professorship of sociology and education in 2023. Then slowly it surfaced that the guy was a professional plagiarist and was passing off the academic work of others as his own.
Everything unraveled as those outside the university system started looking at Arday’s scholarship and life claims. The absurdity of it all ended up with massive embarrassment for the university and those within it.
Arday resigned in disgrace; but prior to the discovery of his fictitious life story being sold as real, he signed a book deal which was scheduled to launch this week. I suspect the publisher did some serious hindsight research and discovered the material in the book was entirely made up. Something happened, and today Mr Arday was found dead.
Daily Mail – […] Professor Jason Arday was found unresponsive at a London address shortly after 3pm on Friday.
It comes after a tumultuous few weeks in which fellow dons had questioned if the 41-year-old academic’s work was original.
[…] The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: ‘Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 3.12pm on Friday, August 14, following a report that a man had been found unresponsive inside a property.
‘Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.
‘At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.’
The statement added: ‘The case is being investigated by officers from the Met’s Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner.’ (read more)
…”When Arday resigned from his professorship and his fellowship, he said that this should not be ‘mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me’. He cited the ‘personal cost’ of the furore which he said had been ‘too great’. He also cancelled a series of events to promote his new memoir, Great And Unfortunate Things, which was released in the US this week.”…
Wait! Are we sure he didn’t fake his DEATH, too??
Considering his other prowess, that’s entirely possible.
A two bullets to the head suicide.
They call it Arkancide.
Maybe he used two guns at the same time?
Had a noose around his neck and was attempting to hang himself but the bullets were faster.
Daily Mail says, he’s a “…Professor Jason Arday…,” even in death by sooeycide and our DEI creation; if you rightist, anti-DEI clowns think we’re giving him up, forget it. .
Was he the one Charlie Kirk debated a few years back?
Was he the guy who said he ran outrageous amounts of marathons?
Natural selection. Go Darwin!
The world is not going to miss one faker. I’m sorry.
Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust, heayaaaayea.
I am feeling a real sadness reading this.
Cambridge needed a hire to champion their DEI credentials, to trumpet their “virtuous” worship of an insidious cult of “woke” in a world gone mad
Arday fit what they were looking for, and they glommed on to him.
This whole sorry chapter in a now discredited institution of “higher learning” leaves a terrible, shameful mark upon it
I can’t explain, but I am so so sorry…
Sorry for what! That he and Cambridge look like complete idiotic WOKE nonsense?
What the politic, Woke, DEI, climate change ‘elites’ do is at the total expense of the ‘non-elites’ no matter how much they pretend their causes are worthy.
They are morally and spriritually void. They won’t even feel any small for his suicide. You feel more than they ever will.
I tried too, so I get what you are saying. Part of the Lefist vanity hoax to prove how good they are, but he got trapped in their snare instead.
I heard earlier this week that U of M will be giving only “pass” or “fail” grades this fall for the “first semester only” of new students. Reason given was that new students first semester is soooo stress full. They claim they will record their actual grade but keep it hidden.
Stupidity continues to march on…………
Maybe they need to learn to read first before giving out grades. It is Massochewsetts, or is it Mitchigan? I get so confused with these giants of higher lering.
Mitchigan
Get past the paywall

All this man’s tales could have been easily verified by most! Many tales were outrageous on their face. Cambridge has forever injured its ranking as a serious institution.
Time wounds all heels. Put him in the Perez Hilton file. People bring this on themselves. Just because Leftists preen over their own DEI vanities, they do great damage to the real people they exploit to make themselves feel good. RIP -sorry he got caught in their trap. But he had free will. It was his choice to lie, cheat and steal.
Very sad
This man’s death is ENTIRELY due to DEI and leftism.
Whether self inflicted or by a leftist assassin, the left is GUILTY
A victim of unearned black privilege. Let this be a lesson for all. DEI is die, after all.
Is this the pompous ass who debated Charlie Kirk, poorly?
lmao
I guess I have to be ok with going to hell. 🤷🏻♂️
