The biter bit

So the University of Oxford decided to discipline students for breaches of its code of conduct based on evidence obtained from a student's Facebook profile that had inadvertantly been left in the public domain.

What would be fun, though, is if I can get the same community that made the charge possible at all to band together to settle any fines levied, in the name of solidarity in the face of invasion of privacy.
