该审查将审查阿代去世前可获得的支持，以及他在大学期间的更广泛背景。
Arday, 41, was found dead at his home in London on 14 August, the week after resigning from his position as professor of sociology of education amid intense scrutiny over allegations of plagiarism. He had denied the claims.
41 岁的阿尔代于 8 月 14 日被发现死于伦敦的家中，一周前，他因抄袭指控受到严格审查而辞去了教育社会学教授的职务。 他否认了这些说法。
Announcing the review on Friday, Vice-Chancellor Prof Deborah Prentice said the time since his death had been a "period of profound sadness and reflection for the university".
副校长黛博拉·普伦蒂斯教授在周五宣布审查时表示，自他去世以来，“大学经历了一段深感悲伤和反思的时期”。
"We worked very hard to support Professor Arday during an appalling period of external criticism and focus, but given the devastating outcome, we are still asking ourselves whether we could have and should have done more," she said.
她说：“在外部批评和关注的可怕时期，我们非常努力地支持阿戴教授，但考虑到毁灭性的结果，我们仍在问自己是否可以而且应该做得更多。”
"This review will help us answer that question."
“这篇评论将帮助我们回答这个问题。”
In a post on social media, the University of Cambridge said: "University Council took the necessary steps to launch an independent review into the university's decision-making and actions, with a focus on identifying shortcomings and areas for improvement."
剑桥大学在社交媒体上发帖称：“大学理事会采取了必要措施，对大学的决策和行动发起独立审查，重点是找出缺点和需要改进的领域。”
The first part of the review will look at the "support, interventions and protections" available to Arday in the period before his death.
审查的第一部分将着眼于阿代在去世前一段时间内获得的“支持、干预和保护”。
Those findings will be reported within three months, allowing recommendations for "urgent action" to be considered and implemented "without delay".
这些调查结果将在三个月内报告，以便“立即”考虑和实施“紧急行动”的建议。
It will be led by Nazir Afzal, chancellor of the University of Manchester and former chief crown prosecutor for the North West of England.
该委员会将由曼彻斯特大学校长、英格兰西北部前首席检察官纳齐尔·阿夫扎尔领导。
Afzal said in a statement that "it is important that we approach this work with both rigour and humanity", adding "we must be willing to ask difficult questions".
阿夫扎尔在一份声明中表示，“重要的是我们要以严谨和人性的方式开展这项工作”，并补充说“我们必须愿意提出困难的问题”。
The second part of the review will examine the wider circumstances of Arday's time at Cambridge, including the recruitment of senior academic staff, mentoring and support arrangements.

In a video message, Prentice said: "I am conscious that Professor Arday's death has deeply affected black staff and students, as well as our neurodiverse community.
普伦蒂斯在视频消息中说：“我意识到阿戴教授的去世深深影响了黑人教职员工和学生，以及我们神经多元化的社区。
"There has also been an unacceptable rise in racist, hateful, and abusive attacks on our staff and students in online forums and on social media."
“在线论坛和社交媒体上针对我们教职员工和学生的种族主义、仇恨和辱骂性攻击也有所增加，令人无法接受。”
In 2023, the sociologist, then 37, became the youngest ever black professor at Cambridge.
2023 年，这位时年 37 岁的社会学家成为剑桥大学有史以来最年轻的黑人教授。
Arday had faced allegations of plagiarism and questions about some of his achievements. He denied the claims, but admitted errors in his work.
阿代曾面临抄袭指控以及对其部分成就的质疑。 他否认了这些说法，但承认自己工作中存在错误。
Arday said some errors arose because of his autism, as he relied on using mimicry to make sense of information. He said similar scrutiny would find comparable errors in the work of other academics.
阿代说，由于他患有自闭症，他依靠模仿来理解信息，因此出现了一些错误。 他说，类似的审查会在其他学者的工作中发现类似的错误。
The allegations emerged after another academic - self-defined "race realist" Nathan Cofnas, who was sacked from his Cambridge role in 2024 - said he found numerous instances of plagiarism in the professor's work.
这些指控是在另一位学者、自称“种族现实主义者”内森·科夫纳斯 (Nathan Cofnas) 表示他在该教授的作品中发现大量抄袭行为之后提出的，他于 2024 年被解雇了剑桥大学的职务。
Arday said the criticism had gone "far beyond scholarly disagreement".
阿代表示，这些批评“远远超出了学术分歧”。
Resigning from his post in August, he added: "The relentless accusations, speculation and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and those I love."
八月辞去职务后，他补充道：“无情的指控、猜测和公众评论给我和我所爱的人造成了深远的影响。”
Following his death, his family said they were "in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son".
他去世后，他的家人表示，他们“对失去这位了不起的父亲、伴侣、兄弟、叔叔和儿子感到震惊”。
They added: "The campaign of misinformation was too much for Jason, who was a gentle man and who always wanted to see the best in everyone."
他们补充道：“对于杰森来说，错误信息的传播实在是太过分了，他是一个温柔的人，总是希望看到每个人最好的一面。”
A vigil held in Trafalgar Square was attended by thousands, according to its organisers.
据组织者称，在特拉法加广场举行的守夜活动有数千人参加。
