this is where i'm going to disagree. Cambridge, if they are as smart as they think they are would have been able to verify any of this stuff at any point. They chose to ignore the glaring holes in this guys story because they wanted so badly to have someone like this to parade around. This is an internet message board and had any of us been familiar with this story we would have had this guy exposed within an hour.

this guys lies were so ridiculous he makes MF Barnes look sane

Simply looking at the guy tells you he was full of crap. I never needed to see anything written about him or even know who we was to know this. Contrary to the saying, you can accurately judge a book by its cover.

The elites that rule the Cambridge faculty have nothing in common with the founders of the cillege or indeed all or western philosophy going back as far as the Greeks. They are postmodern deconstructionists. They are the descendants of Gramsci, Marcuse, and Deutscher. They completed the long march throught the institution captured it. Giving tenure to an obviously dishonest and unqualified individual like Jason Arday is symbolically important and is best described by a Biblical analogy.

---

British universities do not confer tenure, a practice that was abolished in 1988. Instead, they offer open-ended contracts. A professor is expected to teach, manage a research program, secure grants, and collaborate both nationally and internationally.

Arday failed to adequately perform his duties as a professor and had a history of past transgressions. Consequently, his contract would have been subject to review and could potentially have been terminated.

I think if he owned up to it, he could have sold his story, made a lot of money and had a good life. There was a way out for him. Just a sad thing.

---

It would be nice if we still lived in a world where someone at Cambridge would be held accountable for this, but we know they won't. They will just move on and likely never even address it outside of a T&P statement for Arday.

All of Arday's academic credentials were in physical education. Even if you ignore the plagiarism and the lies, the guy was not academically qualified to teach sociology.

According to Arday's memoir, he joined Leeds Beckett University as a PE specialist in 2014, while he was still working on his PhD; his position was dependent on him completing his PhD by 2015.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Arday#cite_note-Great-2][2][/url] Arday wrote that, despite having no training or qualifications in sociology, he had "expertise born of lived experience", and that while working in sport, he trained himself to be a sociologist by night.

---

One of the main complaints many students had when taking his class was that he didn't teach sociology at all, he mainly focus on anti-racism and DEI topics.

I took Sociology at A&M 30 years ago. Do you know what are main assignment was that semester?

We all wrote down our sexual fantasies. And then the prof read them all out loud in class. The women had better stories, but we flat out got credit for basically attending a Penthouse Forum class.

Again, this was 30 years ago. Imagine what it's like now.

Jason Arday, 41, was found unresponsive at a south London address on Friday, according to British media reports citing authorities.

It should be but it's not even the worst. Anything that ends in "studies" is worse than sociology. They're all left wing seminary training with zero value to the student or society.

Not sure but it probably should be. It was an elective for me, and I was blown away at the idiocy of it.

I feel like if he had admitted what happened and faced it honestly, he could have used his experience to build a successful life and made a lot of money from telling his story. He had an opportunity to turn things around, which makes the whole situation even more unfortunate.

ATX_AG_08 said:

Even after being exposed the left was still praising him and pretending he deserved his position and accolades. They were pretending all the blowback was simply due to racism. This dude could have still lived a comfortable life milking that angle. The DEI cult would have never turned on him or admitted their error in elevating him undeservedly.

He's got a memoir about his life that's already been published and going to be released in the UK in a few weeks. Seems like he didn't want to go through the ensuing embarrassment all over again as that was completely picked apart. It's still set to be released as far as I know.

I would like to read the foreword of that book.
To summarize, everything contained in this book is false, which is why we have reclassified it as fiction.

Ha saw this about a week ago and thought it was just some normal guy being hyped up by his lady friend.

Find yourself a wing man like this…

I remember a Sociology class in late 80's. No sexual fantasy stuff, but that would have been cool lol. I recall the professor wrote a book called The American Samurai that was about the culture of Japanese business and how it differentiated from western/US business approach (e.g. 100 year plans vs a few quarters) and other differences. It was pretty fascinating. We read another book written by a sociologist that dealt with the culture of service workers. Both were pretty cool and enlightening. Although, now that I think about it, we also read another book about a culture in New Guinea where the male tribe members would take pre-teen males on outings for their transition to manhood and make them give them blowjobs, so that was a little weird lol.

And from another BBC article, it's all racially motivated and "misinformation".

Per the article - "By the time he resigned his Cambridge position last week Arday said the "relentless accusations" had taken a "profound toll" on him and his family. He suggested they had been racially motivated... In the immediate aftermath of his death, his family said Arday had been subjected to a "campaign of misinformation" that was too much for this "gentle man"."

The BBC is running these stories because they don't want folks to expose the malfeasance that resulted in a completely fake and unqualified person becoming a famous professor at Cambridge.

Who are the overeducated clowns that didn't do any level of background checking?

Does he have a family member or anyone that can confirm his claims of autism, being non verbal until the age of 12 and being illiterate until 18? I would venture a guess that he had some type of assistance, either public or private to overcome those physical limitations. No records of that? And his fantastical claims of athleticism. No video or "mates" that can come forward and say they witnessed this? In the UK they use a standardized test like our SAT upon completion of secondary or high school. Is there any record of that?

I do not know what UK privacy laws for public records are but would think someone, anyone would come forward with actual proof, either way, of this marvelous story though this being the UK you would probably be arrested for a hate crime. I call like I see it and until real evidence is brought forward he, in my opinion, is nothing,but a fraud a liar and a cheat.

Reading through his claims, it looked like someone who was constantly pushing the envelope to see how far they could go with their ridiculous claims. "They believed this, so what if I claim I ran 20 marathons in 20 days for charity? Surely they'll push back." And then when they didn't, he decided to go even more outlandish.
