Cambridge college ends critical examination of founder Winston Churchill

Working party at Churchill College disbands after dispute over event about British PM and racism

Churchill College has halted a critical examination of its founder, Winston Churchill, by abruptly ending the role of a working party set up last year in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.

Initially intended as a year-long programme called Churchill, race and empire", the Cambridge college has ended the effort after a dispute between the college's leadership and the working party, whose members had been planning a mass resignation over what it called interference in a planned event.
