The University of Cambridge has confirmed it will investigate the appointment of Professor Jason Arday as the Vice-Chancellor called the case an “aberration”.
Mr Arday quit last week following a series of reports alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis and other research.
The university had announced a probe into his “academic qualifications and honorary appointments”.
A spokesman confirmed it would continue its investigation following Mr Arday’s resignation, adding findings will feed into a review of the process for appointing senior roles.
