Jason Arday: Fundraiser set up to support family surpasses £224,000
- A fundraiser set up to support the family of Professor Jason Arday has closed after raising more than £224,000 following his death in south London.
- The 41-year-old academic had recently resigned from the University of Cambridge following press scrutiny over plagiarism allegations.
- Prof Arday’s family said they were deeply moved by the extraordinary support, which reflected his impact on advancing education, neurodiversity and equality.
- More than 30,000 people attended a vigil in Trafalgar Square to honour Prof Arday, where public figures strongly condemned the media campaign against him.
- His memoir will be published as planned this week, while the academic who made the original plagiarism accusations has been suspended by Ghent University.
