Both the universities of Glasgow and Ohio State have also denied claims that Arday had been a visiting professor at their institutions, and Nelson Mandela University stated he had "no formal affiliation," having served as an adjunct professor on a fixed-term basis that ended in November 2025.

The University of Cambridge had announced its inquiry began "following new information" about Arday's qualifications and that separate ongoing complaints regarding academic misconduct were being handled under its misconduct in research policy. Previously, it had alleged that a Arday was recipient of a "vile smear campaign to undermine his credibility."

In his resignation letter, published on the Good Law Project's website, Arday said the decision was not "an acceptance of the narratives" surrounding him but rather that of someone who had "reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure."
