Dons 1, John Hood 0

Former University of Auckland Vice Chancellor, John Hood has been beaten down by the Dons at Oxford, after proposing a number of radical changes, including amalgamating the world famous libraries, centralizing the authority of the University's colleges, and assessing the work output of the Dons.
