Arday clearly fooled Cambridge at the outset, providing a thesis that was largely someone else's work. Claiming he was a visiting professor at 3 other universities, when he was not. And many other lies. So yes. Arday did deceive and lie to Cambridge. The puzzling thing was that there were better qualified black women in the running, but everyone chose Arday. Obviously his story of being a mute, autistic, etc was what gave him the edge. He overcame so much! Poor guy. Let's take him. It is actually very common for UK employers to be very loyal to their employees. So even when students complained. When journalists handed in dossiers showing plagiarism by Arday, when professor did the same, even then Cambridge refused to attack its own. It was only when the Guardian started writing about Arday's other lies, and the Telegraph and it was all over the news, that Cambridge decided to do something. The explanation for why professors chose to overlook Arday's failings and lies is obvious, they were blinded by ideology. Just like under Nazism the Germans would promote a blonde, obviously German candidate more readily, instead of say, a Serb or Japanese candidate, these professors were so perverted by their Woke ideology that they were more inclined to promote a black man with autism. It's obvious.
