The head (about to be ex-head) of my university is Sir Timothy O'Shea. On the student record system, it is impossible to search for students called O'Shea (I have one). I suppose it doesn't sanitize correctly - I haven't tried looking for little Bobby Tables yet. It hadn't occurred to me to check, but of course searching for O’Shea doesn't work either, as they usually enter their own names into the initial record, and use 0027. -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
