Nathan Cofnas, the U.S. academic who accused the late Cambridge University professor Jason Arday of plagiarism, has been permitted to resume certain academic activities at Ghent University while a disciplinary investigation remains ongoing, according to a statement from the Belgian institution on August 24. The university specified that Cofnas may engage in academic work remotely but is prohibited from teaching during the probe.

Arday, once celebrated as Cambridge’s youngest Black professor, was found dead in London at the age of 41 shortly after resigning from his position. He had denied the plagiarism allegations but admitted to making mistakes. Following the accusations, Ghent University suspended Cofnas as a precautionary measure while initiating an investigation, which Cofnas contends is examining potential discrimination. The university also confirmed communication with the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, Bill White, regarding Cofnas’s situation. Source
