Article Abstract:
The credibility of the annual Norrington table, which since the 1960s has provided an unofficial league of Oxford University colleges, has been blighted by claims of inaccuracy and dirty tricks, with many claiming the Data Protection Act has rendered it invalid. The fact that the Act allows students to keep their exam results private means that there is now no way to tell how many poorly performing students have refused to divulge their results, thereby rendering any evaluation of the performance of a college's students hard to judge.
