Professor Jason Arday has resigned from the University of Cambridge. His appointment and subsequent departure have led the university to examine its approach to diversity, equality, and inclusion. Some black peers in academic sociology had previously expressed concerns that Arday's performance at high profile academic events did not match his touted credentials. A center perspective frames the resignation as a reckoning for the university regarding its diversity policies. A center left perspective frames the situation as a tool that the right will use to oppose racial equality.
