University statement 07 August 2026

As has been widely reported, Jason Arday has resigned from his post at the University with immediate effect. The University had earlier made this statement.

Regardless of this, and for clarification, the University will continue to investigate the circumstances around Jason Arday's appointment and tenure. The findings will feed into a review of the process for the appointment of senior academic roles.

In addition, and as previously stated, the University's Research Policy Committee will review the Misconduct in Research policy.
