So You've Been KICKED OUT of Oxbridge, and Not Because of Your Exam Results........

No, there aren't any all girls colleges at Oxford and the only ones at Cambridge are Newnham and Newhall. (Lucy Cavendish as well, but I think that's a mature student college.)

Definitely not for shagging a tutor - quite a few people have done that. One of my professors was contractually obliged to keep his door open while supervising students, because of his previous low-down ways.

There was that complete **** who was rusticated for filming two people having sex through the window he was spying at, then distributing the footage around college. I remember being in the Jericho Tavern with my friends from St Anne's (mostly MFL teachers), who spotted him and proceeded to very loudly take the piss.

St Hilda's was until very recently...

Good old Oxbridge elitism...

shagging a professor?

Hardly spying- it was a bit difficult not to notice what was going on. It was a ground floor room with massive windows fronting onto the quad with a party going on right outside. What he did was out of order, but frankly the couple involved shouldn't have been so utterly idiotic to use that room (it wasn't even their room) and not even draw the curtains.

Actually, I don't think it was even out of order. What they did was illegal - it is illegal to perform an indecent act in a public place, and a few years ago the law was clarified to mean that a public place is somewhere easily viewable from a public place. If a couple have sex on the grass in the middle of a quad, it's entirely legal to photograph it. And legally, there's no difference between that and a ground floor room with a large open window without drawing the curtains.

You don't get to have sex in public then cry morals when someone produces pictures of it. That's the risk you take having sex in public. Now, if someone had snuck into their room to film it, that'd be entirely improper and illegal. It's entirely legal to take pictures of anything you want that's in public view, with the exception of children, for which you need parental consent. Even if you consider what he did to be being a bit of a bastard, he broke no rule, whereas they did.


You do realise there were loads of people spying, since, as thomasjtl has said, it was in plain view if their front quad, that loads of people walk through.

He was incredibly drunk and didn't realise the person was the dean. Basically someone gets drunk, starts vomiting and being generally an extremely drunk person, the dean ends up being called, intervenes, and somewhere in this the guy manages to hit him. We're not talking a violent act of aggression, by all accounts it was more of a general flailing.

Also, dean in this context is not the head of a college or faculty, it's the person in charge of welfare at a college. It's usually a fellow, but it's not like he punched the master or president of a college.

I'm surprised he's still allowed to teach if he has such a bad history of getting off with students. I didn't think it was such a common occurence

I thought that was at Cambridge

Well, as tutor-shagging goes, I've known five tutors who have done it and three students, each different cases, so I've come across eight cases in all. One of the students is me ( ) - I've been in a relationship with an Oxford tutor, but he wasn't in my department or anything so doesn't really count, and we had been 'close' before I got to Oxford (I went as a postgrad). Also my undergrad tutor at a different university. We've been together for four years, so it's not a typical case either, I suspect. But I do have a thing for tutors Where serial student-shagging is concerned, the tutor usually is in trouble, yes - there's a difference between a loving relationship with one student and the habitual seduction of many. But I've never known anyone to get the sack for it - they're usually warned and kept an eye on thereafter, unless the student complains, or other students complain of favouritism, or there's any whiff of academic malpractice going on (fudging said students marks or suchlike).

There was a case of an Oxford tutor getting disciplined for testing out call girls in his college rooms. I can't remember where I read this, but I think it was a proper story, not just a rumour. I think he was sacked by his department but not by his college, or vice versa, which left him in an odd position. What a sleaze.

Wonder if this is a common occurence in every uni haha. My image of clean cut oxford tutors has been tarnished lol
