The University of Cambridge said Friday that it would be reviewing its hiring process for senior roles as it probes claims of plagiarism by a professor who resigned this week.

Professor Jason Arday had been at the centre of a growing row over allegations that he had copied parts of his PhD from another student.

In a statement, the university said it had 'begun an investigation following new information about Professor Arday's academic qualifications and honorary appointments'.
