Deeply ashamed of @OrielOxford's decision to retain the statue of #CecilRhodes due to "regulatory and financial challenges".

Instead they will "contextualise" the statue. Let me suggest some facts that should be included in that context. 🧵 (1/x)

theguardian.com/education/2021… The students of @OrielOxford voted by 125-26 in June 2020 to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes.

The Governing Body of staff agreed with this wish and voted to establish a committee to consult stakeholders and recommendations.

So why did the college reject these views? [2/x]
