Cambridge University defends its mental health support for Jason Arday

University says it continued to provide support after resignation of academic, who was found dead this week

The University of Cambridge has defended its mental health support for the academic Jason Arday.

The university said it had continued to provide Arday with extensive mental health support and security measures, including installing panic alarms and screening racist emails and post, after he resigned from his post as professor of sociology of education earlier this month.
