DEI Fake Professor Has the Highest Level of Regime Protection -- Cops are Threatening Journalists Who Ask Questions About His Plagiarism and Fabulism

You will DEI -- or you will be imprisoned.

Police investigated journalist who tried to expose Cambridge professor
Reporter accused of harassment after emailing series of questions to Jason Arday about his academic record

Scotland Yard investigated a journalist trying to expose a plagiarism row and told him to stop asking a Cambridge professor questions.

Scotland Yard, of course, is the UK's national police force.

Jack Grove, a reporter for Times Higher Education (THE), was accused of harassment after he emailed a series of questions to Prof Jason Arday about his academic record. Mr Grove said officers told him to stop contacting the professor because his "mental health" had been affected by the questions.
Prof Arday also hired the law firm Carter-Ruck, which suggested in a letter to THE that its "apparent attack" on him "may be... racially motivated".
The Metropolitan Police spent four months looking into the claim of harassment before deciding in February to close the case.
The police did not interview Mr Grove, who only found out about the investigation when the Met contacted him to inform him that they would not be taking action.
The Met also reportedly passed on a complaint to another force about an academic who was also looking into the academic record of Prof Arday, but the other force refused to investigate.
The Met is among forces that have been accused in recent months of wasting time on pointless investigations while insisting that they do not have the manpower to routinely attend burglaries and other crimes.
Mr Grove told The Telegraph that he had been "stunned" to receive a phone call from the police to be told he had been investigated simply for doing his job.
He said: "I was told a complaint had been made against me and investigated, but the force was not taking it forward. The officer told me that I shouldn't contact Professor Arday again because his mental health had been affected by my actions.
"I asked him what I had done, and he said there had been online posts about Professor Arday. I said I'd never posted anything about him and asked him if he realised he was speaking to a journalist who was investigating a story. He didn't really respond but repeated his request for me not to contact Professor Arday again, citing his mental health.
"I was just doing my job. Journalists should be free to ask questions of anyone, even star professors. It's very rare that academics refuse to speak to the press -- that caused me to look into this matter further and I was astonished by what I found."

So the fake DEI "professor" -- let's say he's a "perfesser" -- is playing the race card with gusto.

But it's not working.

So he's playing the "autism" card now, too.

See, he's autistic, that's why he committed plagiarism throughout his entire career.

I don't know if you guys know this, but autism makes people less detail-oriented.

#Science!

Prof Arday has, in recent days, put his apparent plagiarism down to autism, saying he absorbs information through mimicry.

OMG, "Perfesser," that's wonderful. "My autism makes me learn through mimicry, aka plagiarism."

Wonderful. Wonderful!

He has also admitted that a claim about running 600 miles in six days for charity was wrong (saying it took 12 days) and has said that he did not single-handedly raise Ł5.5m for charity but was part of a syndicate of around 100 people, none of whom he can name because he signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Charity fundraisers often force people to sign NDAs so that no one knows where the money came from, or, where it's going to. (No one ever received these alleged funds, but I guess that's covered by the NDA.)

And his confabulations aren't done yet!

It also emerged on Tuesday that Prof Arday falsely claimed to have been a visiting professor at Ohio State University.
On the Cambridge Faculty of Education page, he claims to be a visiting professor at the US university in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
However, a university spokesman said they had "no record of an employee by that name" and that "visiting professors appear in our employment records".
Ohio State's Office of Diversity and Inclusion also closed last year.
It comes a day after Glasgow University denied Prof Arday's claims that he was a visiting professor in the university's School of Education.

Anne Applebaum has a suspicion that Perfesser's career was orchestrated by Donald Trump and the "far right" Spanish party Vox.

In the New York Times' cover-up coverage, they wait until the 19th paragraph to report, oh by the way, yes the Perfesser clearly plagiarized.

Not that that matters. Trivial detail!

The NY Times quotes Jason Arday about a "dark arts" campaign against him, gives a long backstory, smears the person who first reported the scandal, and only then, in the nineteenth paragraph, mentions that, yes, dozens of passages in his thesis appear to be plagiarized. pic.twitter.com/wsdvPDQ16b

Judging from the way his radios worked, I’m not sure I’d want to trust one of his boats on the ocean.

(I’m pretty sure he did patch the boat once or twice, but the adhesive/sealant worked about as well his other very impressive inventions. They lasted until the end of the episode and then failed hilariously.)

Gilligan's Island was a big part of my childhood. The show originally ran from '64 to '67, three seasons, but they ran it in the afternoon's after school back in the '70s all the time. That and all the classics, I Dream of Jeannie, etc, etc.

91 Apple filed for a PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION against OpenAI AND asked a federal judge to put them under forensic supervision

"Apple respectfully moves the Court for a preliminary injunction to stop THE THEFT OF ITS TRADE SECRETS"

Apple filed NINE sworn declarations, a 28-page memorandum and a concurrent motion for expedited discovery

What Apple now says, under oath:

Chang Liu: 8 years at Apple, now OpenAI "Member of Technical Staff" exploited an authentication bug to steal Apple trade secrets "on AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS" from February to April 2026, WHILE working for OpenAI

Liu downloaded "THOUSANDS OF PAGES of Apple's most sensitive trade secrets"

The stolen files, NAMED: (names of files)

Liu fed OpenAI "a steady stream of Apple proprietary information that he actively concealed"

Liu also "coached Yu-Ting "Alyssa" Peng, then still INSIDE Apple, how to access and copy files from Apple workstations "to avoid trouble with the security team" and directed her to communicate with him on the encrypted LINE app "to avoid detection"

92 Tang Yew Tan: 24-year Apple VP, now OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer, "used an Apple internal project codename for an unannounced product to elicit still more trade secrets from job candidates."

Tan's own messages, quoted in the motion:
>"Just like last time, bring some parts you worked on" >"mlb, battery, shields type of stuff is interesting"

OpenAI recruiter, quoted: "No, you won't sign anything at the exit interview. If they do ask you to sign anything, let me know asap."

APPLE TOLD FEDERAL JUDGE:
>"OpenAI knows its misappropriation is wrong and has tried to conceal it."
>"This is not a case of 'mere hiring'... it is a case of repeated instances of deliberate theft."

Apple says OpenAI went after its SUPPLIERS: etc, etc, etc

...
Apple named ELEVEN MORE former Apple employees at OpenAI — beyond Liu, Tan, and Peng — Fourteen people total.

Apple also filed a concurrent motion for EXPEDITED DISCOVERY demanding depositions:
- Liu. Tan. Peng.
- A fourth unnamed OpenAI employee
- Plus OpenAI itself, under oath, through Rule 30(b)(6)

Apple has asked a federal judge to put OpenAI under forensic supervision RIGHT NOW: (more demands and requests)

Then, those DEI people got professorships for the same reason.

Then, those DEI professors allowed in more DEI professors because they never even pretended to give a shit about academics.

Employees have to sign non-disclosure agreements etc. when they are hired, and often anually after that. Companies want it signed again when employees leave, but even if the employee doesn't sign on the way out, they are still bound by the agreement. Penalties for violation include years in prison.
