Ghent Suspends Researcher Over Conduct — Not His Plagiarism Accusations

Ghent University suspended postdoctoral researcher Nathan Cofnas on August 20, pending a disciplinary probe into whether his public statements about the late Cambridge professor Jason Arday constituted discriminatory conduct. The investigation targets how Cofnas made his accusations, not whether they are true. Arday's plagiarism allegations remain unexamined by any formal body, and after his death, a posthumous process is uncertain.
