Baroness Claire Fox joins Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss the controversy surrounding former Cambridge professor Jason Arday and questions raised about claims attributed to his CV and academic record. Claire describes the affair as a “serious scandal”, arguing that the central issue is not one individual but the institutions and academics responsible for scrutinising his appointment. She says Cambridge became overly focused on identity, inclusion and perceived victimhood, allowing fear of accusations of racism or discrimination to suppress legitimate questions. Calling for accountability among those involved, she warns that academic standards and meritocracy are undermined when institutions appear to prioritise identity over evidence and achievement.  Have you got a story?
