Rory Stewart vs. Lady Elish Angiolini in the Oxford University Chancellor Race: Who Will Take the Lead?

Rory Stewart, a former Conservative MP, is thinking about a bid to become Oxford University’s chancellor, a post left empty by Chris Patten.

Hugh’s College—nominated instead. The point of contention is whether Angiolini or Stewart, a politician, would make a better chance at running the university.
