Cambridge professor Jason Arday is facing fresh scrutiny after police contradicted his claim that officers investigated the alleged delivery of a severed pig's head to his family home, while the University of Glasgow has also rejected a claim contained in his official Cambridge biography. Professor Arday previously claimed in newspaper interviews that a severed pig's head had been delivered to his parents' home in south London as part of a campaign of racist intimidation following his appointment as the University of Cambridge's youngest Black professor in 2023. According to reports, Professor Arday was unable to produce photographs of the alleged package or messages discussing the incident with family, friends or police. When questioned about the allegations, Professor Arday reportedly responded: "To be honest with you, I thought you'd just believe me. Cambridge University has declined to comment on the specific allegations but has continued to back Professor Arday, describing him as the victim of a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility."
