00:00Now to a scandal rocking one of the world's oldest and most prestigious universities.
00:04A Cambridge professor's high-profile academic career and inspirational backstory
00:08now in ruins over escalating allegations of plagiarism and lying.
00:13Our Holly Williams has the story tonight from London.
00:17I'm professor of sociology of education at the University of Cambridge.
00:21Three years ago, Jason Arday became the youngest ever black professor
00:26appointed at Cambridge University, an 800-year-old institution.
00:31Professor Jason Arday joins us now.
00:33He was interviewed about the achievement on CBS News.
00:37If I'm being absolutely candid and honest, not many teachers at school had any belief in me.
00:43Now Arday has fallen from grace, accused of plagiarising some of his academic writing
00:49and lying about claims he ran 600 miles in six days to raise money for charity.
00:57The scandal's front-page news here in the UK
01:00and the former professor of sociology of education has now resigned,
01:06saying in a statement that it should not be mistaken
01:09for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded him.
01:13Cambridge University says it's launched an investigation.
01:16There are now questions about Arday's autobiography,
01:21scheduled to be published this month.
01:23Holly Williams, CBS News.
01:27We're going to talk about this story out of the history of Cambridge
01:31because there's a guy by the name of Jason Arday,
01:35who you just heard about there, who was a professor at Cambridge
01:40and, as you heard, got exposed for lying, plagiarising,
01:45and fabricating, allegedly, a bunch of stuff, okay?
01:50That individual, Jason, was recently found deceased.
01:55And I want to talk about it a little bit.
01:57And, you know, before we get into it,
01:59condolences to, you know, his family and his friends.
02:03Obviously, this is not something that you want to hear.
02:07Of course, you know, it's always tragic when anybody dies.
02:12But I want to dive into the story a little bit
02:14because I think it highlights a real issue,
02:19especially on the left.
02:21All right?
02:21So before we get into the meat and potatoes,
02:24let's get into a little bit of the accusations against him
02:29in terms of, you know, his plagiarising
02:33and some of the lies that he allegedly made up.
02:36Check it out.
02:37The youngest black full professor
02:40in the history of Cambridge University.
02:42Last year, it became widely known
02:45among faculty members at Cambridge
02:47that Jason Arday's backstory was totally fraudulent,
02:52that much of his work was plagiarised,
02:54that the work that wasn't plagiarised
02:56was of an absurdly low quality.
02:58Either the university or Arday hired a fearsome law firm
03:03to intimidate the journalists into silence.
03:05So an anonymous whistleblower contacted me.
03:08After the tip-off, I started investigating
03:10and I found extensive plagiarism, fraud,
03:14a number of totally implausible claims
03:17that he's run 300 miles in three days
03:20and 30 marathons in 35 days.
03:23He says that he was nonverbal until the age of 11
03:26and couldn't read or write until the age of 18,
03:29which is not consistent with the evidence or at all plausible.
03:33I've actually compiled a list of all of the documented,
03:36false, exaggerated or unverified claims
03:38and I'm at 61.
03:40But he claimed to play for Crystal Palace Football Club.
03:42He was a star snooker player.
03:44It seems to me that he's a pathological liar
03:46because this is almost psychopathic.
03:48The list, it's just never-ending.
03:50He was my mother, was a mental health nurse
03:53who holds five degrees.
03:54Who knows that might be true.
03:56It's been cast into doubt.
03:58His problems then, unable to speak from the age of 2 to 11,
04:02I spent 10 hours a day in speech therapy
04:05six or seven days a week.
04:07Now people have gone back and they said where he lived,
04:09well, anywhere in the country,
04:10the NHS is not going to give you 10 hours a day,
04:1360, 70 hours a week.
04:14That can't be true.
04:16Doctors said there's nothing in there.
04:18Pointed at him, they said there's nothing in there.
04:20He is a vegetable.
04:22And then a day before my 12th birthday,
04:23I said my first word, hello.
04:26Doesn't sound true.
04:27He says he was in the BBC series Seven Up,
04:30which followed children going up.
04:31That can't be true.
04:32The BBC said he wasn't.
04:34Reading and writing.
04:34I could not read or write till I was 18.
04:38Football and snooker.
04:39He played both to a professional level,
04:41including a brief appearance for Crystal Palace.
04:44Seems untrue.
04:45Medical diagnoses, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia,
04:49death in one ear, brain tumour removed
04:51just before his PhD,
04:53a stroke and a broken leg during a marathon.
04:56Running in 2010 and 2013, 2015.
05:00He did 30 marathons in 35 days,
05:03including, by the way,
05:04breaking his leg during one, but continuing.
05:07300 miles in three days,
05:09600 miles in six days.
05:11Raised more than 5 million.
05:13He's now rode back from that.
05:14He did water charity work
05:16by installing water pumps in Brazil
05:18for the charity WaterAid.
05:19They said, no, he didn't.
05:21We never send volunteers overseas.
05:22I haven't even come to this bit,
05:24which is the key bit,
05:25which is the academic work,
05:27large sections of which
05:29appear to have been copied.
05:31But there's accusations of violent threats.
05:34He's been threatened with a knife,
05:36physically assaulted.
05:37This is at Cambridge.
05:38And spat on, had rape and death threats
05:41and bananas sent
05:42through the Cambridge postal system.
05:45He then says, we're nearly there,
05:48that someone broke into his faculty
05:50wearing a mask, carrying a knife,
05:51and say, if you didn't stand down,
05:53I'm going to stab you.
05:54He tells the Cambridge authorities,
05:56obviously, they're very worried.
05:57They install CCTV cameras everywhere.
05:59Then he says it's happened again.
06:01They look on the CCTV.
06:02They can't see anything at all.
06:04So attacked twice or threatened twice
06:06by a masked man with a knife.
06:08And his mother's house
06:09had a pig's head sent to it as a threat.
06:13He then names the butcher shop
06:15it was bought from.
06:16The newspaper, the Guardian,
06:18rings up the butchers and says,
06:19did you sell anyone a pig's head?
06:21They said, no,
06:21that's the kind of thing we'd remember.
06:23Anyway.
06:26Yeah, so, excuse me.
06:29As you guys heard there,
06:31allegedly a whole lot of lies.
06:35And, you know,
06:36of course, people have come out the woodworks,
06:39especially a bunch of leftists,
06:40and are now blaming folks on the right
06:44for calling out his lies
06:46and as well as his alleged plagiarism
06:49at Cambridge.
06:50Let's get into that a little bit here.
06:53Check it out.
06:54A black professor who was the subject
06:55of a multi-year harassment campaign
06:57was found dead in his home.
06:58Let's get into it.
07:00Jason Arday, just 41 years old,
07:02was discovered at his South London home
07:03this afternoon.
07:04And at the time of this video,
07:05the police say his death is unexpected,
07:07but not suspicious.
07:08Now, his family immediately pointed
07:10to the ruthless and targeted harassment campaign
07:13that he has been dealing with
07:14since his historic appointment.
07:16They said that he was, quote,
07:17subjected to a campaign of sustained abuse,
07:19end quote,
07:20by detractors who, quote,
07:21would leave no stone unturned
07:23in their quest to undermine him,
07:25end quote.
07:25Now, they described him as a gentle,
07:27brilliant man who was simply too kind-hearted
07:29to withstand the torrent of misinformation.
07:32And the family is pleading with people
07:33to finally leave them in peace
07:35after years of relentless harassment.
07:37Now, Professor Arday's story
07:39was one of the most inspiring stories
07:42in modern British academia.
07:44Now, he was a child who was nonverbal until 11
07:46and illiterate until 18.
07:47He defied every expectation
07:49to become Cambridge University's
07:51youngest ever black professor in 2023.
07:53Yet, instead of celebrating this,
07:54a mob of critics hounded him
07:56over unproven plagiarism claims
07:58and petty questions
07:59about his personal biography,
08:00understand that a formal investigation
08:02by Liverpool John Moores University
08:04had already thoroughly examined
08:06and rejected the plagiarism accusations,
08:08fully upholding his PhD.
08:10But that didn't matter to his bullies
08:12who dug into his charity work
08:13and achievements for a purpose
08:14that had little to do
08:15with so-called academic integrity
08:17and everything to do
08:18with tearing down a black man
08:19who dared to be in the position that he was.
08:22Now, when Cambridge bowed
08:23to public pressure
08:24and announced an internal inquiry
08:26based on vague new information,
08:28Professor Arday resigned.
08:29And he was heartbroken
08:31and stated that the relentless accusations,
08:33speculation, and public commentary
08:35had already taken an unbearable toll on him.
08:38And rather than standing behind him,
08:40the university's leadership wavered
08:41and threw him under the bus.
08:43So, the institution that once celebrated him
08:46as a pioneer
08:47left him to fend for himself
08:48against a coordinated smear campaign?
08:50Wow.
08:51Cambridge's vice chancellor
08:53has now offered heartfelt sympathies,
08:55but for Jason's grieving family
08:57who have lost an amazing father,
08:59partner, brother, uncle, and son,
09:00those words ring hollow.
09:03This is...
09:04Yeah, so as you heard,
09:06they're now blaming folks on the right
09:09for what happened to him.
09:13And here's my thing.
09:15And I actually had this debate
09:17at the barbershop once.
09:19I don't even remember how it even came up.
09:22I really don't.
09:23But we had a debate
09:26and I don't remember exact...
09:28Like I said,
09:29I don't remember exactly how it started.
09:30And I just remember we got to a point
09:32where, you know,
09:33I said,
09:34if I told you to jump off a bridge
09:36and then you jumped off a bridge,
09:38is that my fault or yours?
09:42I argued that it was theirs.
09:44The guy was arguing that it was my fault
09:46because I told him to do it.
09:49Not saying that I ever would.
09:51All right?
09:51I want to make that clear.
09:52Not saying that you should be telling people
09:54to do that.
09:57But I was trying to make a point,
09:59you know,
09:59like I can say whatever,
10:02but your actions are your actions.
10:05Now, if I threw you,
10:06that's a different story.
10:08But if I just say,
10:09hey, go do X, Y, and Z.
10:12And then you actually go and do X, Y, and Z.
10:15I feel like that's your fault.
10:17That's your fault
10:18because you actually did it.
10:20I didn't do it.
10:21Nor did I force you to do it.
10:23I just said, do it.
10:26I feel like it's your fault.
10:29Just because somebody is criticizing someone
10:33doesn't mean it's their fault
10:35that something tragic like this happens.
10:37And it is tragic.
10:39You don't want to hear about stories like this.
10:40This is tragic, obviously.
10:42That's why I started off the video,
10:43you know, giving my condolences to,
10:45you know, the family.
10:46But also,
10:48we have to stop with this,
10:50um,
10:55we have to stop with this,
10:57uh,
10:58participation trophy
11:00type of mindset in society.
11:03Because that's where that,
11:04that's what I think
11:05this kind of gets us.
11:07Right?
11:08Oh, it's okay that you lied.
11:10It's okay.
11:11Allegedly, of course.
11:12It's okay that you allegedly lied.
11:14It's okay that you allegedly
11:15did this and did that.
11:16It's fine.
11:17It's okay.
11:18Like, no, it's not okay.
11:20It's not.
11:22We have to stop coddling folks
11:24and tell people the truth.
11:26You know,
11:27if you didn't win,
11:29you didn't win.
11:29You shouldn't get a participation trophy
11:31just for,
11:32or you,
11:33you shouldn't get a trophy
11:35simply just for participating.
11:36You should only get a trophy
11:37if you won.
11:39It's okay if you lost.
11:42Get better.
11:44Oh, well,
11:45his feelings are hurt,
11:46and that's life.
11:49If he's really that hurt,
11:51go back home,
11:52train harder,
11:52and come back better
11:53the next time.
11:55Oh, no,
11:56we have to give him a trophy.
11:58Everybody has to get a trophy.
11:59We can't hurt people's feelings.
12:05Just saying.
12:07Once again,
12:08this whole thing
12:09is absolutely tragic,
12:11but I think somebody
12:12has to say something about this
12:14because it's just
12:15getting out of hand.
12:17It's getting out of hand.
12:18Like,
12:19this stuff shouldn't be happening
12:20because somebody gets criticized
12:21a little bit.
12:22It only happens,
12:25now,
12:26this is all alleged,
12:28right?
12:28We don't have 100%,
12:30you know,
12:31proof as to
12:32what exactly happened,
12:34but people are speculating,
12:36rumors are floating,
12:37that, you know,
12:38he offed himself.
12:41due to
12:42the scrutiny.
12:48And I feel like
12:49that only happens
12:50in a,
12:50things like that
12:51only happen
12:52in a society
12:53that has
12:55coddled
12:56individuals,
12:58that has,
12:59that has given out
13:00participation trophies
13:01to individuals,
13:02that has not told people
13:04the actual truth
13:05when they need to be
13:06told the truth.
13:08You know,
13:09I heard,
13:10I heard a quote once
13:11and it's always stuck with me
13:12and I think I've told you guys
13:13this before,
13:14but it,
13:15it,
13:15it goes,
13:17friends will tell you
13:18what you want to hear.
13:21Friends will tell you
13:22whatever you want to hear,
13:24but your real friends,
13:26your best friends
13:27will tell,
13:27will always tell you
13:28what you need to hear.
13:30There's a big difference
13:32because your,
13:32your good friends,
13:33your best friends
13:34actually care about you.
13:35So,
13:35so they're going to tell you
13:36what you need to hear.
13:38It doesn't matter
13:39whether or not,
13:39you know,
13:40you're going to be mad at them.
13:41They're going to tell you
13:41what you need to hear
13:42because you need to hear it
13:43and it's what's best for you,
13:45even if you don't realize
13:47it in that moment.
13:50And I feel like we've gotten
13:51to a society where
13:53we just tell people
13:54what they want to hear.
13:56It's never what they need
13:57to hear anymore.
13:58If you tell somebody
13:59what they need to hear,
14:00you're,
14:00you're considered rude,
14:02uh,
14:03disrespectful.
14:03You're considered a piece of crap
14:05and,
14:05and,
14:06and,
14:06you know,
14:07whatever else.
14:09When actually you're just like,
14:11bro,
14:11this is what this person
14:12needed to hear right now.
14:14This is what people
14:14needed to hear.
14:15It might hurt a little bit
14:17in the moment,
14:19but when they digest
14:20what it is that was said,
14:23they'll appreciate it
14:24in the future.
14:25You know,
14:29I'm just saying,
14:30man,
14:30I,
14:30and I want to,
14:31I want to ultimately,
14:33I want to prevent the,
14:35these types of things
14:35from happening in the future.
14:37And I feel like the only way
14:38to do that
14:39is to get back to
14:40a society where
14:42we just tell people
14:43the truth
14:43and we tell people
14:44what they need to hear,
14:45not what,
14:46not what they want to hear.
14:47If you're messed up,
14:48you're messed up.
14:49It's okay.
14:50Get it back on track.
14:53Don't coddle the behavior
14:55and try to make up
14:55a bunch of excuses for it
14:57and blah,
14:57blah,
14:57blah,
14:57and make it okay
14:59for folks to lie,
15:00allegedly,
15:01of course.
15:02No,
15:03you're wrong,
15:05but that's all right.
15:06Correct it in the future.
15:09But anyway,
15:11y'all let me know
15:12your thoughts
15:12and your opinions.
15:13If I'm wrong,
15:14if I'm right,
15:15why,
15:16why not?
15:17Once again,
15:19rest in peace
15:20to Jason
15:20and condolences
15:21to,
15:22you know,
15:22his friends
15:23and family.
15:25I'm out.
15:26I'm out.
