American academic Nathan Cofnas has been suspended by Belgium’s Ghent University after he helped expose explosive plagiarism allegations involving the late Cambridge professor Jason Arday.
Cofnas announced the suspension on X on Thursday.
“I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me,” Cofnas wrote.
“The decision was made by rector Petra De Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.”
Hours earlier, Cofnas said the university was investigating him for allegedly “discriminating against Arday.”
Ghent University confirmed that Cofnas had been suspended “as a precautionary measure” while officials conduct a preliminary disciplinary investigation.
