There might be nothing to this theory but there seems to be a potential discontinuity in the timeline of “Jughead”. Desmond goes to Oxford in 2007 and we assume that from the perspective of Widmore and the rest of the “real world” that Faraday went to the Island in 2004 and then vanished into time. But his lab is still somewhat intact, his equipment is still there and the janitor indicates he has been working on the “fumigation” until recently. He also hints ‘Others’ have been to the lab in the intervening years. Why would Oxford wait 3 years to proceed with cleaning out his lab and getting rid of the equipment... especially if Faraday was involved in a scandal? One would think the University would work quickly to eradicate any trace of him. Perhaps Faraday is destined to escape the Island

One would think the University would work quickly to eradicate any trace of him. Perhaps Faraday is destined to escape the Island and return to the “real world” closer in time to 2007 where he will return to his lab under an alias (a la John Locke/Jeremy Bentham) and request that specific attic lab to continue his work but leave before encountering Desmond.
* Perhaps the lab isn't functional any more, not even the room itself can be used. They've kept it closed up for what appears to be years, maybe there is left over radiation that people need to stay away from so they've just abandoned that room all together?
*
* The "janitor" said they weren't really fumigating, and Widmore is heavily involved with Faraday. Maybe he has paid a lot of money to make sure the lab remains untouched and all questions about Faraday and the lab unanswered so as to hide any connection to the Island or the things that are done on/because of the Island.
* Faraday's research at Oxford has been funded by Widmore for years. Widmore is persuading the university to keep Faraday's lab space preserved as-is while Faraday is on a sabbatical. Widmore may also be donating a significant amount of money to the university to ensure that Faraday's work remains a secret, thus keeping the lab from being cleaned out.
* The janitor himself was the only person that really knew anything about what Daniel was supposedly doing in that room. It's possible that not even the university knew about that room and what took place in it, and that the school was the primary reason for the fumigation cover up. Daniel stated in "The Constant" that he conducted experiments that Oxford "frowned upon" which indicates that if they knew that he was in there conducting experiments they would have shut him down. What Daniel did to Theresa became known to Oxford which removed his name from their records, but it's possible that no connection was made between Theresa and the room, thereby enabling Daniel to continue keeping it a secret. Perhaps it was assumed that Daniel experimented on her at some other location.
* The janitor obviously isn't a janitor. Perhaps one of Widmore's men. As for the reason Faraday is no longer in the Oxford records and the room is completely locked up and the fumigation front is put on is because Widmore is paying a lot of money to make sure that all of that info stays hidden. We all know he has the money and the desire to make sure that what is real and what people think is real falls in line with what he wants.
* A lab in a university is hardly unusual. Not removing the lab itself is not suspicious and neither is deciding to clear the space to make room for something else at a later time.
