The article identifies Sir Richard Dearlove as the Chair of the Board of Trustees, but the University of London’s own current governance pages show that this is no longer correct.

• The University’s official Board of Trustees page lists Kavita Reddi (Chair) among the board members.
• The University also published an official news announcement on 12 December 2025 stating that Kavita Reddi had been appointed the new chair of the Board of Trustees.

That means the claim naming Sir Richard Dearlove as chair is outdated and factually incorrect for the current University of London leadership.

The article says “more than 50,000 students are part of University of London Worldwide”, but the University of London’s own recent materials give a lower figure.

• The University’s official Facts and figures page says “Around 40,000 students are studying our courses in 190 countries”.
• Its Why study with us page says students joining University of London study with “over 45,000 students” worldwide.
• The About us page likewise describes the University as offering programmes to “around 40,000 students in 190 countries”.

Those current official figures contradict the claim that Worldwide has more than 50,000 students. The number in the article appears to be an outdated overstatement.

This sentence describes the composition of the University of London’s Board of Trustees, but it omits one of the board’s categories of membership.

The University’s official governance page says the Board of Trustees is made up of 18 members and explicitly includes a Student member in addition to:

• independent members,
• the Vice-Chancellor,
• and heads of federation members.

The University’s 2025 financial statements likewise describe the board as including 11 appointed independent persons, a student member, the Vice-Chancellor, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, and four heads of federation members.

So the article’s sentence is incomplete and inaccurate because it leaves out the student member when describing who comprises the board.

The infobox names “The Lord President of the Council” as the University’s Visitor, but the University of London’s own statutes page gives the role differently.

According to the University’s official Statutory Officers page, “The Visitor is the Sovereign acting through the President of the Council.” In other words, the President of the Council acts on the Sovereign’s behalf; the office-holder is not themselves the University’s formal Visitor.

So the article’s wording is inaccurate because it substitutes the President of the Council for the Visitor, instead of describing the role as the University itself does.
