一句话看懂
Nathan Cofnas, who accused late Cambridge professor Jason Arday of plagiarism, was suspended by Ghent University. The suspension stems from his views on race and discrimination allegations.
背景
Nathan Cofnas, a self-described 'race realist', had previously been dismissed from Cambridge's Emmanuel College in 2024 over blog posts arguing that in a meritocracy 'blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.' He later accused the late Cambridge professor Jason Arday of plagiarism, sparking a scandal that led to Arday's resignation and death. Ghent University suspended Cofnas as a precautionary measure pending a preliminary disciplinary investigation into discrimination allegations.
