Megyn Kelly links Jason Arday scandal and death to Cambridge hiring practices

Aug 17, 2026

The segment covers the recent death of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, who resigned amid plagiarism allegations and questions over his personal story. Megyn Kelly recounts his rise as the youngest Black professor, details disputed claims from his memoir and background, and criticizes the university for overlooking qualifications under diversity pressures. Kelly draws on New York Times reporting for evidence contradicting Arday's accounts of childhood mutism, medical conditions, and athletic feats. She notes Simon & Schuster's planned memoir publication, expresses sympathy for his family, and argues the episode illustrates institutional enabling rather than media overreach.

Channel 4 News interviewed academic Kehinde Andrews, a friend of Jason Arday, following Arday's death on August 15, 2026. Arday, Cambridge's youngest Black professor, had resigned days earlier amid plagiarism allegations and questions over his qualifications and memoir claims. Andrews described intense media pressure, citing 188 stories, emotional isolation, and called the coverage a 'public lynching' driven by race. He noted LJMU cleared plagiarism claims, argued Cambridge bowed to pressure on an unrelated investigation, and stressed duty-of-care failures by universities.
