Jason Arday resigns from Cambridge amid ongoing plagiarism investigation

Professor Jason Arday has resigned from Cambridge University amid allegations of plagiarism. His departure follows an internal investigation into the claims against him. Arday was known as the youngest Black professor at the institution.
