Cambridge professor accused of plagiarism resigns after investigation launched

A Cambridge professor has resigned following the launch of an investigation into allegations of plagiarism and his academic qualifications. In response to the controversy, Green Party leader Zack Polanski stated that the professor faced a trial by media. Polanski further argued that individuals of colour can sometimes be held to higher standards within society, suggesting that the public scrutiny surrounding the resignation and the plagiarism row may have been influenced by these systemic societal pressures.
