Is Said Business School part of Oxford?

Having always thought that Said Business School was just trying to capitalise on a famous location, I was today told that it was in fact part of the university, and that any Economics classes I might have next year are likely to be in there.

This information, however, came from a less than reliable source. Does anyone know it it's accurate?

I heard he made some of his money selling electric shock batons to third world countries. He's definitely an arms dealer.

Yeah. When it opened some guys shinned up that really tall flagpole to unfurl a banner reading "Blood Money". And a few people sat down in the road. Briefly. :wink:

Mmmm, even nicer on the inside look at the pics on the website. But yes, built with blood money, bad bad oxford. (tbf much of the Uni was, Henry VIII dissolved 8 monastries to fund the building of Christ-Church.
