Dons Call for Cambridge Leaders to Take Blame for Jason Arday Appointment The University of Cambridge's handling of Jason Arday's appointment as professor of sociology of education has raised more questions than answers, leaving a trail of controversy in its wake.
At the heart of this debacle lies a disturbing pattern of accountability avoidance. Senior dons are now calling for an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Arday's appointment.
They point to his relatively slim track record of research and publications compared to his peers, who were passed over for more senior positions despite having stronger credentials.
