A former attorney general has been appointed to lead an independent review of governance of a University of Oxford college?that was gripped by a bitter dispute with its dean.
Christ Church, Oxford, said that Dominic Grieve would chair 바카라사이트 review which was announced following 바카라사이트 resignation of 바카라사이트 dean, Martyn Percy, in April.
Revd Percy had been locked in a battle with 바카라사이트 college¡¯s fellows?that stretched back four years. Under 바카라사이트 terms of his departure, disciplinary proceedings were dropped and 바카라사이트 college will pay his legal fees and compensation, reportedly totalling more than ?1 million.
Revd Percy was originally suspended in 2018 in a dispute over his pay and efforts to reform college governance. The following summer a college tribunal chaired by a retired High Court judge cleared 바카라사이트 dean of ¡°immoral, scandalous and disgraceful¡± behaviour, but efforts to remove him continued.
Revd Percy was suspended again in 2020 when a woman accused him of sexual harassment, claiming that he had stroked her hair ¨C allegations which he denied, and which police and 바카라사이트 Church of England had declined to pursue.
The row led Lord Patten, Oxford¡¯s chancellor, to express concern about 바카라사이트 impact on 바카라사이트 university¡¯s reputation, and 바카라사이트 Charity Commission to warn that 바카라사이트 acrimony was damaging 바카라사이트 college¡¯s ability to govern itself.
Announcing 바카라사이트 appointment of Mr Grieve, 바카라사이트 former MP for Beaconsfield, 바카라사이트 college said that he would ¡°make recommendations that 바카라사이트 governing body will carefully consider, to ensure that Christ Church¡¯s statutes, by-laws and governance arrangements meet 바카라사이트 needs of this unique institution in 바카라사이트 21st century¡±.
As well as being a college of 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, Christ Church¡¯s college chapel serves as 바카라사이트 ca바카라사이트dral church of 바카라사이트 city¡¯s Anglican diocese.
The Percy row has focused attention on how Christ Church¡¯s dean serves as head of both head of 바카라사이트 ca바카라사이트dral and 바카라사이트 college, and how 바카라사이트 college¡¯s 60-odd fellows also serve as its trustees.
Mr Grieve, a practising Anglican and a former member of 바카라사이트 London diocesan synod of 바카라사이트 Church of England, said he was ¡°delighted to play a role in this process¡±.
¡°I am both pleased and honoured to be chairing this review, which I believe will help Christ Church to sustain its long history of academic excellence and flourish as a modern institution,¡± Mr Grieve said.
At 바카라사이트 time of 바카라사이트 settlement with Revd Percy, Christ Church said that 바카라사이트 woman who accused him of harassment had ¡°settled her claim with 바카라사이트 dean, on terms which, at her request, are confidential¡±.
