The article seems to be about college support not overall support which is weird - I would have been surprised to receive academic support from my college (the chance of one of the two maths dons being in my area being pretty much nil) as opposed to my department during the D.Phil. But then I was an undergraduate there so knew what to expect I guess. It seems the problem is really communication of how Oxford works to people applying for postgraduate degrees. That and the amount that colleges charge maybe - no idea how much is reasonable for a college to charge, but I can imagine a college spending £300,000 a year on facilities/infrastructure for postgrads doesn't seem totally beyond the bounds of possibility. Maybe they should just be more open about where the money goes.

It doesn't seem to talk about general quality of D.Phil. supervision and how it compares to other universities, which is another issue entirely and would seem a much more interesting thing to look into.
