News has emerged this week that college dons at Oxford University have been enjoying free lunches at the tax payers expense.
Labour MP David Lammy has hit out at this practice with the current background of tuition fee hikes for students across the county.
Certainly at Supa Swap we are finding it hard to justify this "tradition" at one of the most prestigious universities in the country if not the world.
Oxford have hit back and have stated that none of the lunches are funded by the taxpayer but from the Universities own funds that it uses to cover the costs not covered by its income from the public.
This does beg the question, how big are these private funds, where are they from and why have they not been taken into account when deciding to increase student tuition fees?

The title may have been borrowed from Tony Blair but the sentiment is one that we believe very strongly in at Supa Swap.
The way that our children are educated shapes so much of their future. However in this ever changing world the education system changes with it, giving parents questions and choices to make.
Jonathan and Nina are part of the education world and can give you an interesting perspective of how systems work and enable you to make informed discussions.
They will not pull and punches and will give their very frank views about the state of the education system in the UK and what they think works and does not.
Should make for an interesting read.
