Glasgow Reviews Arday Hiring Amid Academic Scandal | Glasgow News

The University of Glasgow is launching a review into how Jason Arday was hired as a professor, following mounting scrutiny over his past work and academic claims. While he worked at Glasgow from 2022 to 2023 before moving to Cambridge, questions now surround his appointment — especially after he resigned from Cambridge amid allegations of plagiarism in his doctoral thesis. Arday cited personal limits, not guilt, in stepping down. Meanwhile, police admitted they mishandled a harassment claim against a journalist who contacted Arday, with the commissioner acknowledging the investigation was botched. As Cambridge academics demand an independent inquiry into hiring practices, Glasgow vows to learn from this episode and reform its processes.
