Linacre College to rename itself Thao College after funding offer from Vietnam's richest woman

A University of Oxford college is to change its name to honour Vietnam's richest woman after she offered it a 155m donation.

Linacre College says it will ask the privy council for permission to change its name to Thao College after signing a memorandum of understanding over the money with Sovico Group, represented by its chair, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao.
