I find it ironic that much of the reason why Arday received such accolades is that he painted himself as a victim who had managed, through grit and determination, to overcome adversity and achieve greatness. But then as soon as he experienced actual adversity - albeit self-inflicted, from being called out on his plagiarism and lies and harassment of those who tried to expose this - he decided to kill himself instead.

Which, I suppose, is the final chapter to his false victim narrative. A posthumous legacy that he was bullied to death, absolved of his misdeeds.

Academic reviews of his alleged “misdeeds” have thus far absolved him.

His prime accuser is an unrepentant racist who believes non white people should not be in academia.

This was a deliberate attempt to get black academics fired supported by Britains right wing press. The Telegraph and Mail being owned by a family of literal fascists who supported Oswald Mosley.

This story is being filtered through a lens of media coverage so filthy it makes the truth impossible to see.

The people calling for his ouster supported Boris Johnson, a journalist fired multiple times before becoming prime minister for fabricating stories.

They isn’t about integrity.

>Academic reviews of his alleged “misdeeds” have thus far absolved him.

No they haven't. The reviews all pointed to Arday plagiarizing and being comically dishonest.

>They isn’t about integrity.

It's about integrity, academic integrity at the highest levels.

Reality gets distorted.

I've seen Kehinde Andrews defend Arday repeatedly about plagiarism.

He says

1. It was deemed "misquoting" and poor scholarly work that should've been caught by his advisor 2. And the university did an investigation and ruled it wasn't plagiarism.

Basically, the mom who will always love their ax murderer son.

Completely agree
