Belgian Uni Suspends US Scholar
British academic Jason Arday has died, just days after resigning from his university amid allegations of plagiarism and embellishing his curriculum vitae. Arday's death came amid escalating controversy over investigations launched by the Belgian University of Ghent against another researcher, Nathan Cowans, who accused Arday of copying his work, prompting widespread criticism—particularly from the American ambassador, who said the university was embroiled in corruption and mob mentality. These accusations and pressures reportedly contributed to Arday's declining health, and he was found dead at the age of 41. Calls have been made for an investigation into the misinformation campaign and persecution he faced. Donations in support of him surpassed £146,000.
