Met chief admits bungled probe into Arday plagiarism row
TL;DR
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley admitted the force “dropped the ball” by pursuing a four‑month probe into a harassment complaint against journalist Jack Grove tied to coverage of Cambridge professor Jason Arday’s plagiarism row and said Grove should not have been contacted; Arday has resigned from Cambridge amid plagiarism allegations (LJMU did not uphold charges) as Cambridge investigates, prompting broader scrutiny of how plagiarism claims are handled in academia and media and the treatment of Black academics.
