Cofnas suspended for outing Jason Arday as a plagiarist

August 21, 2026/7 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

The professor who accused former Cambridge academic Jason Arday of plagiarism before he quit his job and was found dead is now in hot water — he’s been suspended from his job at a Belgian university.

Nathan Cofnas, a postdoctoral researcher for Ghent University, revealed the news Thursday on X … adding he believes he will be fired.

In a separate tweet, he said he was under investigation by the university “for discriminating against Arday.”

Ghent confirmed they have suspended a staff member, adding … “The university is assessing whether there are sufficient grounds to refer the case to the competent disciplinary body for further consideration.”

The university additionally noted, “The death of Professor Arday should prompt reflection. We hope that lessons will be learnt from what has happened regarding the way we treat one another both within and outside the academic world, particularly when people become the subject of public controversy.”

ICYMI, Cofnas published a Substack article titled “DEI fraud and cover-up at Cambridge,” in which he accused Arday of copying the 2009 thesis of Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, who studied at Brunel University. Cofnas ran Arday’s thesis through the plagiarism-detection tool “Copyleaks” … and said his work had striking similarities to over 100 passages by Zwozdiak-Myers.

He went on to claim Cambridge only hired Arday — the youngest black professor at the English institution — “to advance the cause of racial diversity.”

Arday quit his job at Cambridge after the Substack was published — which led to people questioning his work and resume — and was found dead at a South London residence last week. His cause of death has not been released.

    Cofnas looks better in recent videos.
    More saints in the melanin martyrology and more racial sinners in the index librorum prohibitorum of the Woke Religion.
    But a complete book could be written about this brazen con-man and the gullibility of his fawning fans that might just find a publisher.

    An Establishment as deeply invested in lies as ours is cannot permit dissent. Especially dissent which — through its very accuracy — threatens the whole house of cards.

    how any sane person could view this nigger’s photograph, and not immediately perceive his mania, is amusing.

    Petra De Sutter is a real nutcase – a transgender (male to female) gynaecologist. This thing was itself caught using fabricated quotes in a speech. Oh, the irony.

    Very unusual for an Afro to commit suicide without taking a few of his enemies with him. If they told us Jason did hari-kiri after killing some of his critics, that would be more plausible.

    If Jason is actually dead, his handlers probably killed him.

      What we all were thinking, every word.
      Now they have a Martyr, and, of course you can’t speak ill of the dead, and a “White” guy to blame

        You are missing the point.
        This is an attempt by organized jewry to insert one of their own as some great figure of intellectual dissent.
        We can all look forward to seeing that revolting heeb Nathan Cofnas inserted as some great right wing figure into the mainstream.
