The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Ghent University in Belgium suspended Nathan Cofnas, a U.S. philosopher and postdoctoral researcher, while it conducts a preliminary disciplinary inquiry into his recent public statements. Cofnas led public plagiarism allegations against Jason Arday, the former University of Cambridge professor who resigned this month and was found dead in his London home last week at 41. The allegations against Arday had not been proven in any formal investigation. Cofnas previously lost a Cambridge post in 2024 after comments on meritocracy, DEI and race.
