Ex-student sues Oxford, says his 20-year-old degree failed to give him success
A graduate who tried to sue Oxford University because he just missed out on earning a top degree has had his claim thrown out.
Faiz Siddiqui wanted £1m in damages from the university over what he described as “negligently inadequate teaching” that affected his degree grade 20 years ago.
Siddiqui, of Bayswater, west London, claimed that the 2:1 degree had a “marked deleterious effect” on his subsequent career.
However, High Court judge, Mr. Justice Foskett, ruled against the graduate, who was 39 at the time of the trial, after deciding that the “delivery” of part of a history course in 1999-2000 was not “negligently inadequate.”

Oxford university disowns Chris Imafidon
Our records show that Chris Imafidon has no affiliation with Oxford University or any of its colleges or departments – Varsity’s media relations manager
The University of Oxford has disclaimed that a Nigerian, Chris Imafidon is a professor at the university.
Saturday PUNCH on November 18, 2017, published an interview in which Imafidon claimed that he had overcome autism to achieve greatness and that no child was born with an inferior gene. The interview went viral on the web, where his rich profile abounds and appears at every search of his name.
Questions were raised by concerned members of the public after the publication of the interview.
Local and some international media have described Imafidon as a professor at Oxford University and at other times, as a professor of University of Oxford (Keble College). However, in their responses to Saturday PUNCH’s enquiries, University of Oxford and one of its independent constituent institutions, Keble College, denied having any connection with him.
Over the last two weeks, Saturday PUNCH has then made several efforts to get Imafidon to substantiate his purported link with the Oxford University or Keble College.

I never permitted a mental imbalance shame prevent me from accomplishing significance – Prof Imafidon, Oxford don
Nigerian-born Chris Imafidon is a Professor at the University of Oxford, England. Though autistic, Imafidon, whose children have been described as world’s brainiest kids, tells ‘NONYE BEN-NWANKWO, how he got to the height he has achieved
You were at the University of Ilorin recently during their graduation and you said you would give a scholarship to the worst graduating student. Why?
You might need to ask my grandmother that because she believes that every child, without exception, has a lot to contribute to the society. She would find out what you are capable of doing. In my own generation, I try to implement what she lived by. She didn’t just preach it, she did it. She was interested in every child. I did what she would have done. She is gone now. But I am here to represent her voice.
I must not let her voice be unheard in my generation, I will always echo it and my mantra is that every child is a genius. If every child is a genius, then it shouldn’t matter if you are at the top of the class, bottom or middle. The lecturers were arguing with me but I told them that they would see what these people they judged the worst students would become. I would give them scholarships and if they don’t beat the ones you say are the best students after three years, I will publicly apologise.
