The Law Fund
The retirement in 2012 of our distinguished and long-serving Tutorial Fellow, Professor Mark Freedland, will come on top of a number of other changes that affect the study of law at College. In response, St John’s has established the Law Fund to ensure continuous quality of teaching for our students and to protect against the impact of the imminent overhaul of the higher education system in the UK.
At present the Law Fellows’ stipends are jointly funded by the College and the University, reflecting the responsibilities that Fellows have across the Collegiate University. The balance of funding varies across disciplines; most arts and humanities fellows are two thirds funded by College and one third by the University. For most fellowships in mathematics, engineering and the sciences, the College pays one fifth and the University pays four fifths of the cost. The Law Faculty may be unable to fund their share of the fellowship.
By creating the Law Fund, the College is seeking to work with the recently established Oxford Teaching Fund, which would offer the possibility of matched funding on a 60:40 basis.
