Statement from Trinity Hall

Following recent media coverage, and in response to the concerns which have been raised by students, staff, alumni and Fellows, we wished to provide an update to our community at Trinity Hall.

As has been reported, the College has set up a panel of unconflicted Fellows to co-ordinate its response to the issues raised. The panel will be submitting an interim report to an additional meeting of the College’s Governing Body in the week commencing 2nd March.

The Rev Canon Dr Jeremy Morris has today agreed to voluntarily step back from duties as Master of Trinity Hall, pending the College’s further consideration of recent events. This will be until the College, in accordance with its Ordinances and the time frames available to it, can consult further.

Dr William O’Reilly has also agreed to withdraw from his college duties, including teaching and supervision, on a voluntary basis, as of today, pending the College’s further consideration of recent events.
