Rhodes, the fall Must campaign called for a "public and permanent recognition" from the University's "role in the colonial violence."

demonstrators in Oxford, Said The Statue was acceptable

"My Own view is that the hide is our history, and the route to enlightenment," Prof Richardson told The Bbc .

"We need to understand the history and understand the context in which it was made and why it was that The People believed then, as they have," She Said .

"This University has been around for 900 years. For 800 years The People that ran to the University does not believe that women were worthy of An Education . We should condemn people?

"I went about learning more about how he was perceived quite differently in the UK. "

When looking at the attitudes and actions of The Past , she asked: "we use The Ethics of today, or should we use the morals and ethics of The Time in which they lived?"

After a row over The Statue a few years ago, there have been proposals for a memorial plaque, which will be added to the Rhodes statue to add "context" about his life, and Prof Richardson Said that she regretted the fact that this has obviously not happened.

But She Said that the focus of the University was not to add to the statues of The Past , But on The Experience of the students in The Present , that The Number of black and ethnic minority students had increased.
