Hayward's 1991 M.A. thesis was judged the best history thesis of his year and it won him the Sir James Hight Memorial Prize for "excellence" and the honour of wearing the Philip Ross May Gown at the graduation ceremony.{{Cite web |url=http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/Scholarships/prize_regs/Hight%20Memorial.Regs.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=8 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016112723/http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/scholarships/prize_regs/Hight%20Memorial.Regs.pdf |archive-date=16 October 2008 |url-status=dead}}University of Canterbury, Graduations 1993, Christchurch Town Hall, 7, 8 and 9 May 1993, University of Canterbury, 1993, p. 14. The thesis was submitted in 1993 yet was unavailable for public study until 1999. When it became available, Hayward was accused of advancing arguments which gave credence to Holocaust deniers.{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=166126 |title=A-plus equals anger for Jewish groups |author=Walsh, Rebecca |date=22 December 2000 |work=The New Zealand Herald |access-date=7 October 2011}} In 2000, at the request of the New Zealand Jewish Council, the University of Canterbury convened a "Working Party" which issued a report admonishing the university for inadequately supervising Hayward's work.Joel Hayward Working Party, 2000, §5, pp. 64-69. The report found that Hayward's thesis showed significant industry and no evidence of dishonesty but was "seriously flawed".Joel Hayward Working Party, 2000, p. 2 and §6.1, p. 70. Subsequent to the issuance of the Working Party's report, the university apologized to the New Zealand Jewish community.Jones, Jeremy. (26 December 2000).

The thesis was embargoed for an unusually long period, and he requested its removal from the university library, which was denied.{{cite web |title=A-plus equals anger for Jewish groups |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/a-plus-equals-anger-for-jewish-groups/ETX67O7XRQQS6MQU47D5CV44BY/ |website=The New Zealand Herald |language=en-NZ |date=3 October 2023}}

Despite what transpired, Hayward clearly upholds the sound and accepted scholarly assessment of the Holocaust. In 2010 he described it as "one of history’s vilest crimes … involving the organised murder of millions of Jews"{{cite web|url= http://www.airpowerstudies.co.uk/APRVol13No3%20-high.pdf|title= Hayward, J., "The Qur'an and War: Observations on Islamic Just War", Air Power Review, Vol. 13.

Amman, Jordan: Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre, 2012, p. 50. In a 2018 interview, he said: "I can’t help but conclude that humans are, by and large, rather unkind to each other and sometimes utterly hateful. … How else can we explain ordinary German soldiers and paramilitary people murdering six million Jewish civilians in history’s greatest atrocity?”{{cite web|url= https://www.claritasbooks.com/authors-interviews?id=9&detail=1|title= Claritas Books: Interviews: Joel Hayward|access-date=23 February 2018}}{{Primary source inline|date=March 2022}}

In October 2013, Hayward prevailed in a libel case against The Mail on Sunday and The Daily Mail, which had wrongly alleged that Hayward had unfairly favoured Muslim students at the RAF College, and he was awarded a retraction, an apology, and damages described as "substantial."{{Cite web|url=https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/associated-newspapers-pays-substantial-libel-damages-professor-it-branded-ayatollah-raf/|title = Associated Newspapers pays 'substantial' libel damages professor it branded 'Ayatollah of the RAF'| date=14 October 2013 }}
