18 June 2026

The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that she has received with gratitude a benefaction of £5m from Trinity College, following a donation of £3.5m from the Hatton Trust, payable over four years, to endow the Professorship of Sustainability established by Grace 3 of 19 April 2023 on the occasion of the coronation of the King (Reporter, 6696, 2022–23, p. 601). The Council has agreed to provide match funding of £2m over the same period, to be paid from the Investment Fund. The holder of the Professorship is expected to be a Fellow of Trinity College. The Council is submitting Graces (Graces 1 and 2, p. 575) to retitle the Professorship the Hatton Professorship of Sustainability and to include an additional member on the Board of Electors appointed by the General Board on the nomination of the Council of Trinity College, in accordance with the Hatton Trust’s wishes.
