WHAT HAPPENED
Cambridge University has agreed to hold an independent inquiry into the appointment of Jason Arday as a professor, according to The Guardian. Vice-chancellor Deborah Prentice acknowledged the 'anger and anxiety' surrounding the case, which has damaged the institution. The decision comes after internal pressure for an investigation into the appointment.
Vice-chancellor Prentice described the case as an 'aberration' that should not be used to cast aspersions on the abilities of the university's staff of colour. The Guardian reports that the university's leadership has bowed to internal pressure for the independent investigation. However, limited information is available on the specifics of the inquiry and its intended outcomes.
The controversy surrounding Jason Arday's appointment has sparked a wider conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion at Cambridge University, with some sources suggesting that the conversation around these issues has become distorted, according to The Guardian.
