The availability of AI based software means that any academic's work or research can be quickly scanned/parsed and compared with other published works in the same field and any marked similarities highlighted literally within seconds.
That is the new reality every researcher must remember in today's world. YOUR WORK WILL BE SCRUTINISED WORD BY WORD FROM NOW ON AND IT WILL BE DONE IN FRACTIONS OF A SECOND (MILLISECONDS) ONCE YOU PRESENT IT TO YOUR INSTITUTION OR AUTHORITIES. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT AI SOFTWARE SOMETIMES GET THINGS VERY BADLY WRONG SO BE WARNED THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO USING AI ONLINE TO ANSWER YOUR QUERIES.REMEMBER THAT AI ANSWERS ARE GLEANED FROM THE RESPONSES OF MILLIONS OF OTHER ONLINE USERS AND THESE ARE SOMETIMES BASED ON FALSE INFORMATION. SO, AI HAS ITS OWN LIMITATIONS. BE PARTICULALRLY CAREFUL ABOUT USING AI TO CHECK OUT SOMEBODY’S DETAILS. FOR EXAMPLE, GOOGLE AI ONCE INFORMED ME THAT I LIVED AND WORKED IN A COUNTRY I HAVE NEVER VISITED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
SO THESE ALLEGATIONS DO NOT MEAN THAT THE CAMBRIDGE PROFESSOR WAS GUILTY OF PLAGIARISM.
The reality is that any high achieving "outsider" (based on race, tribe, political background, alumnus etc etc) will always become the object of envy, jealousy and become a target for denigration. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ALL THE TIME RIGHT HERE IN GHANA AT MOST WORKPLACES ACADEMIC OR NON-ACADEMIC.

LOOTING PUBLIC FUNDS IS NOT A SIN IN GHANA, LET ALONE PLAGIARISM. IF AI IS USED, GHANAIANS WILL BE SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT 99% OF GHANAIANS WITH MSc OR PHD AWARDS WERE OBTAINED VIA PLAGIARIZED WORK. IT SHOWS CLEARLY IN OUR PERFORMANCE AS A COUNTRY. 23 hours ago

LOOTING PUBLIC FUNDS IS NOT A SIN IN GHANA, LET ALONE PLAGIARISM. IF AI IS USED, GHANAIANS WOULD BE in SHOCK TO KNOW THAT 99% OF GHANAIANS WITH MSc OR PHD AWARDS WERE OBTAINED VIA PLAGIARIZED WORK, AND IT SHOWS "FEELY-FEELY" IN GHANA'S ABYSMAL FREELOADING LEADERSHIP PERFORMANCE AS A COUNTRY.

PROBABLY, THE ONLY PERSON WHO PROPERLY ACTUALLY EARNED HIS PHD ON A SMALL SCALE WAS THE LATE KWADWO SAFO KANKANKA. THE REST ARE ALL AZAA "BIG TIME"!

GHANA HAS PHARMACOLOGY FACULTIES AT ITS PUBLIC AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES BUT NONE COULD DEVELOP EVEN A DROP OF COVID-19 VACCINE. THAT TELLS THE WHOLE STORY.

IN THE UK, THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO THAT VACCINE DEVELOPED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITIY STUDENTS AND THEIR LECTURER PROFESSOR SARAH GILBERT ARE HELD BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY'S INNOVATION COMPANY CALLED VACCITECH, JOINTLY WITH AstraZeneca as thr producers of the vaccine.

GHANA HAS NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO MANUFACTURE BYCICLE OR ABOBOYAA TYRES, YET WE NAIVELY THINK WE HAVE UNIVERSITIES.

What It Means:
1.No Foul Play: Police and medical examiners found no signs of a struggle, assault, or homicide.
2.Natural or Accidental Causes: The death is believed to have resulted from a pre-existing medical condition, natural aging, an accident (such as a fall or overdose), or suicide.
3.No Crime Investigated as Homicide: Law enforcement does not suspect anyone else caused the person's death.

ANOKWALE, you are not very observant. Look at all my postings on this forum and just come up with one time when I did my postage in Capital letters. This should have told you that this is an impersonation. Perhaps you posted in my name so that you can have the position to respond to it and also insult me.
Besides, whenever I post anything, I write my name in full and don't abbreviate them. My name always appears as Frank Agyena-Karikari but not F Agyena-Karikari. Haven't you been clever and observant enough to observe this.
I have never said that I hate Rawlings as a person. He was the friend of my uncle who took care of the horses that Gaddafi gifted him and also taught his children how to ride horses. I rather hated the atrocious and Murderous deeds that characterized his administration, especially against Akan Military Officers and business people. Yes. I hated him for that and nothing can convince me to stop that hatred. Did you enjoy his killing of the Akan Military Officers? Why didn't he kill his uncle Quashiga when he suspected him of trying to attempt to stage a coup d'etat against him but reported him to their family elders to advise him. Why did he kill Kyereme Djan whose brother Boakye Djan saved him from a possible Firing squad for the same offense. Kyereme Djan was not even a member of the Military but Rawlings being an ingrate implicated him in plans to stage a Coup against him. How did he treat the young Northern Soldiers that he drafted and brainwashed to stage the June 4th Coup. Can you tell us how he had Minyila and Akatapore killed? He is your tribesman, been brainwashed, or know what you got from the administration of Efo Julor John Rawlings. I shall always continue to condemn the evil and atrocious deeds of his administration. As a Human Being, I don't HATE him. I have changed to post how he was very friendly with the very young boys of OSU Night Market and how he can park his car and join them to play GUTTER TO GUTTER to the admiration of people in the locality. On the whole however, he was atrocious and dangerous, especially to the Asante and other Akan people.
I have never ridicule the Professor who is believed to have been involved in plagiarism. In Academia, that is very common, especially before the Internet era. I felt sorry for him to have killed himself because he could have left that university to teach elsewhere in any other university in an English speaking country. Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa would have welcomed him. As for Efo Julor John Rawlings, his actions were atrocious and evil and will never hold brief for him.

The problem with our gay friends, is their target hate for the middle citizens who hold no grudge. They have become the very things they hate with their 'cancel him culture'.

Arday's University of Cambridge resignation statement in full
It is with profound sadness that I write to resign, with immediate effect, from my position at the University of Cambridge and Jesus College.
When I accepted the extraordinary honour of becoming Professor of Sociology at Cambridge, it was, without question, the greatest professional privilege of my life. To become the youngest Black professor in the University’s history was something I could scarcely have imagined as a child growing up with a diagnosis of autism, unable to speak until I was eleven years old.
The response from so many people across the world was overwhelming. Thousands celebrated not simply my appointment, but what it represented: that talent, perseverance and hope can triumph over even the greatest adversity. It has been the privilege of my life to teach my students, to learn alongside them, and to witness their curiosity, kindness and ambition. They have given me far more than I could ever have given them.
Sadly, the years since my appointment have also been marked by an unrelenting level of public scrutiny and personal attack. While criticism is an inevitable part of academic life, what I have experienced has gone far beyond scholarly disagreement. The relentless accusations, speculation and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those I love.
I have tried to continue because I believe deeply in the values of higher education, in rigorous scholarship, and in the transformative power of universities. I have tried because of my students, my colleagues and the countless people who have written to tell me that my journey gave them hope.
But there comes a point when the personal cost becomes too great.
I have a family. I want to be present for them. I want to reclaim some peace, some privacy and some semblance of an ordinary life. I no longer wish to feel as though I am living under a constant spotlight, where every aspect of my life is subject to public examination and judgement.
For my own wellbeing, for my family, and for those who have stood by me throughout this difficult period, I have concluded that the only way to bring this chapter to an end is to step away.
This decision should not be interpreted as a loss of faith in scholarship or in the values that first brought me to Cambridge. Nor should it be mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me. It is simply the decision of someone who has reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure.
To my students: thank you. Teaching you has been the greatest honour of my academic career. Your brilliance, compassion and determination give me enormous hope for the future.
To my colleagues and to the many thousands of people, from every corner of the world, who have supported me, defended me, written to me, and believed in me when it mattered most, I offer my deepest gratitude. Your kindness has carried me through some of the darkest moments of my life.
This is not the end of my work. It is simply the end of this chapter. I need time to heal. I need time to simply be myself again. And when that time comes, I will return.
I will return stronger, wiser and with the same determination that has always defined my journey. There is still so much work to do, and I look forward to doing it alongside so many of you in the years ahead.
For now, however, I ask only for understanding, for compassion, and for the space to begin again.
With gratitude,
Professor Jason Arday
