To think that Cambridge University’s reputation has been shot to pieces by the revelations about ex-professor Jason Arday?

I doubt applications will be down as a result.

No theyre fine

Jason, imo, took 'exaggerate on your cv' far too literally bless him.

Hes done right by resigning and ive no doubt he was targeted due to racism. That said, the response should've been to properly check the claims a lot sooner.

No he was caught by lying?

Bless him? He's a fraudster, who lied his way through his career and then used racism to silence people. Well done for falling for it.

No way. Cambridge is too big to be rocked by one guy.
