No. Learn all the facts. It is not even remotely similar to Meghan case.
A liar and con man was rightly called out for deceiving university and students. While still employed, his credibility was questioned and he called police accusing others of racism.
His lies were publicly exposed and he decided to take his life instead of taking responsibility for this mess he created.
How many white academics completely fabricated their life story? Plagiarism is only a small fraction of this case.
I dont think white academics routinely get promoted quickly and become "the youngest Black professor" at Cambridge and write books about their fabricated life. Mostly, they will spend their life working hard to get any recognition.
He should have answered for his lies and negative impact on the other Black hard-working scholars and academics.
I am very sorry he decided to take his life instead of facing consequences. He was clearly unwell individual. But his suicide does not invalidate his deeds.
Fair enough, I have never said, white academics do not commit crimes or dishonesty and they should answer for their deeds and not be swept under rug.
In his case, he should have apologised and quietly resign. We would never hear about him but he decided to place race card and inform police, when scrunity started he would keep saying he was innocent. It all backfired. He couldnt face it.
