List of Oxfrd bad performing students made public, by accident.

In what can only be viewed as a blunder, or some form of medieval humiliation equated to an academic version of the stocks, an email was sent around University College (a college at Oxford - one of the oldest, but let's not open that debate), listing the 50 worst performing students of the pre-christmas exams. This was an administrative blunder, one perfectly understandable in our view.

 But rather than brand names at Oxford, it's academic performance which really influences the social standing of a student. One student notes "I was pretty gutted after my results last term, but didn't realise I would be publicly humiliated. I can't even go into college any more". Perhaps slightly over the top, but not to be outdone, another student quips, "They may as well have gone the whole hog and just released all health records of students whilst they were at it- or maybe just those with STIs".
