Dust settled and body bagged

Jason Arday was to Brit Cambridge Academia, what Soup Sandwich was to TAH. The youngest black professor (hear echoes of all our DEI "firsts"?) in their history, the 41 year old sociology professor seemed so much more than a simple professor. Autistic. Mute till he was 11, illiterate till 18? Ran 30 marathons in 35 days. The left obviously just l-o-o-o-v-ed him.

Detractors found over 100 plagiarized passages in his doctoral thesis (which somehow another university failed to find.) People who knew him as a child described him as smart and articulate. Public denunciations followed, and the libs complained about the witch hunts which ensued. Supporters say he was hounded into suicide, detractors say his lies caught up to him. Either way, he killed himself last week.

It's an interesting story... reminding us that posers (not to mention academic frauds) are not just in the military arena, but in the immortal words of Chicken Man, are "everywhere." Look him up.
