A piece in the Guardian. Of course the paper is presenting challenges of Professor Jason Arday as racist. An extract:

“Claudine Gay, the first black woman to become president of Harvard, was only in the post for seven months before she was forced out over plagiarism allegations.” 

No, this wasn’t about “allegations”, she was forced out because she was demonstrably a plagiarist. The Guardian is saying black people should be above criticism, what could be more racist?

A piece in yesterday’s Telegraph (£), Cambridge professor made impossible claim he was on Seven Up. An extract:

“Prof Jason Arday said he had appeared in the television series, which follows the lives of a group of people for decades from the age of seven. The inaugural episode was broadcast in 1964. He was not born until 1985.

Prof Arday is at the centre of a row about academic plagiarism after The Telegraph revealed that he has been accused of copying parts of his PhD thesis from an earlier work by another student.

He has admitted a series of errors in his work but said the “positioning of me as this kind of liar and fantasist is totally unacceptable”.”
