- So-called PGCE three barred from Cambridge team
- Call to dismiss qualification as ‘not a degree’ challenged
An independent legal opinion has concluded there are “strong grounds to challenge the lawfulness” of the decision to ban three Cambridge students from taking part in next month’s Boat Race.
The two crews will be formally announced this evening in an event at Battersea power station in London, with Cambridge unable to select the so-called PGCE three – Matt Heywood, Molly Foxell and Kate Crowley – after a complaint from Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC) that the teacher-training qualification “is a diploma and that is not a degree”.
