Jeers greet Cambridge vice-chancellor at Jason Arday vigil

At a Cambridge vigil for Jason Arday, the university’s vice-chancellor Deborah Prentice was heckled by attendees; supporters say the incident reflects intense media scrutiny and racism surrounding Arday’s death and plagiarism row. Cambridge said she attended to pay respects and extended condolences, while Stand Up to Racism highlighted concerns about press coverage and the treatment of academics of colour, as Cambridge also announced an independent investigation into Arday’s appointment.
