Cambridge announces internal investigation into Prof Arday In other news, Prof Fox will be examining the disappearance of hens from the henhouse He promises full transparency ... between mouthfuls cam.ac.uk/notices/news...

Jack Grove contacted Cambridge's Office of Research Integrity which precipitated an investigation that found the allegations "out of scope" So, of course, Cambridge knew about the THE piece, and the allegations therein

Prof Katherine Schofield 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇪🇺@katherineschof8.bsky.social · 2h ago

This is not true. Cambridge (nor any other university) has no such duty of care, and there is zero evidence they advised him. Indeed they have denied knowledge of the THE piece. No reason to make this bigger than it actually is.

Vice Chancellor, Prof Deborah Prentice, & Chancellor, Lord Smith, of Cambridge University have repeatedly stressed importance of freedom of speech Can we expect a clear condemnation of the setting of police on journalist from Times Higher Education? www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12...

The invisible Woman Understandably, there's concern at Prof Arday's state of mind Matter is being exacerbated by refusal of Cambridge University to answer legitimate questions Institutional silence has turned a controversy into a full-blown scandal

The heart of this scandal is institutional Cambridge had a duty of care to Professor Arday. What advice was he given & by whom? Why did Carter-Ruck and the police become involved? Who made that decision, and why? These questions demand answers 21percent.org?p=4129

"it's not the crime, it's the cover-up" Who set Carter-Ruck & the Metropolitan Police on Jack Grove of Times Higher Education? If Arday, he's no innocent If Cambridge University, it's worse It's corruption -- use of public money to hush up a scandal www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08...

Why pile on the university before checking the claim? It may be true, or it may be there with the 600 miles in 6 days abd the water for Africa.

To close the Arday saga down what is needed is 1 No more interviews by Arday. No book launch until it's been completely checked 2 Statement by Cambridge University that matters will be examined by independent inquiry (ie one which Cambridge does not control).

It's the curious incident of the dog in the night again The silence from the BBC and The Guardian on the Jason Arday story is telling A negative fact, but the most significant of all Their lack of response strongly suggests they accept that the allegations are largely true Sadly
