A statue of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes will not be taken down, an Oxford University college has said.
A commission set up to examine the figure s future said the majority of its members supported its removal.
But Oriel College said it would not seek to move the statue due to costs and complex planning processes.
He had been a student at Oriel and left £100,000 - about £12.5m in today s money - to the college through his will in 1902. About £200,000 still remains, the commission s report found.
