It is horribly sad that it took #JasonArday's death to undermine the racist persecution and frenzied character assassination he was subjected to.

"It’s also important to centre the story here. From #JasonArday’s standpoint, and by LJMU’s own standards, there was no intent to commit academic fraud. Arday, for his part, consistently described what was happening to him as racist and ableist harassment, not legitimate academic debate." 1/3

In #JasonArday’s case, Newscord identified 249 articles, 188 after he said he had reached the limit of what he could endure. Coverage increased rather than slowed, breaching ethical principles of proportionality and humanity #MediaAccountability buff.ly/KP0GuP2

7/ What #JasonArday's message says to me, is that we need to be compassionate & authentic, totally redesigning our approaches to #TLA. It's not 'one size fits all'. We are much better advancing the whole spectrum of #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion, so we truly celebrate #Belonging & #Justice. #DEIBJ

The deep systemic injustice at the heart of #JasonArday's tragic death makes me mad, and so sad in fair share. This poem, 'Strange Fruit' by Lewis Allan speajks so powerfully to the longue durée of the struggle for Black lives to matter.

#IsabelOakeshott's callous dismissal of #JasonArday’s tragic demise reveals a grotesque hypocrisy; hounding him for embellishments whilst 5Mil #Farage basks in immunity. Media's moral collapse is palpable, with Arday as their scapegoat.

#JasonArday's tragic death reveals a grim truth: social media's rush to judgment can obliterate lives. Anonymity breeds cruelty; critics should remember there's a human behind every headline. Let's reflect, not condemn.

#JasonArday's tragic death exposes academia's hypocrisy: celebrating diversity whilst savaging a black professor's integrity. The relentless scrutiny he faced is a sobering reminder, meritocracy is a facade when prejudice reigns.

Jason Arday's death will send shockwaves through a divided academia
Barely 1% of professors at UK universities are black, so he was joining a small and highly visible minority in academia, writes Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys.

#Cambridge’s glittering facade hides the tragic truth: they elevated #JasonArday's profile for diversity points, then left him to the wolves. The media frenzy echoes past failures to protect the vulnerable.

#Complicit in the silencing of @sangitamyska.bsky.social , @mrjamesob.bsky.social goes on to make #JasonArday’s “wrongdoing” central to the story.

Not that he was cleared of #plagiarism; not that he was hounded to death.

The white, privately-educated JO’B wants to keep his job, so plays the game.
