剑桥大学已委任前检控官纳齐尔·阿夫扎尔领导对已故学者杰森·阿迪之死的独立调查第一阶段1。该调查将分两个阶段进行，第一阶段关注阿迪去世前的支持措施，预计三个月内完成；第二阶段将考量他在剑桥的整体情况及大学的相关政策1。
阿迪于2023年被聘为剑桥大学教育社会学教授，当时被宣传为该校最年轻的黑人教授1。8月5日，大学宣布调查其学历后数小时内，阿迪辞去了教授职务1。仅九天后的8月14日，他在伦敦南部家中去世1。
针对这一事件，剑桥大学副校长黛博拉·普伦蒂斯表示："我们都在问自己是否本可以也应该做得更多"1。英国高等教育部长杰基·史密斯表示正密切关注剑桥的回应，高等教育办公室保有进一步调查的权力1。
Cambridge University has commissioned Nazir Afzal, a former chief crown prosecutor, to lead the first phase of an independent investigation into the death of Jason Arday, a deceased scholar who held a position at the institution.1 Arday, who was appointed as a professor of the sociology of education at Cambridge in 2023 at age 37 and was promoted as the university's youngest Black professor, resigned on August 5 following the university's announcement of an investigation into his academic credentials.1 He died at his home in south London nine days later, on August 14.1
The review will proceed in two stages, with Afzal's phase expected to conclude within three months and focus on the support measures available to Arday before his death.1 A second phase, anticipated to take six months, will examine his overall circumstances at Cambridge and the university's related policies.1 Vice-Chancellor Deborah Prentice stated: "We are all asking ourselves whether we could and should have done more."1
The matter has drawn attention from the UK government, with higher education minister Jackie Smith indicating she is closely monitoring Cambridge's response, while the Office for Students retains the power to conduct further investigation.1
