Cambridge course fails 55 of 77 standards

"The University of Cambridge's veterinary school has been accused of overlooking racism and student welfare.
The course has had its professional accreditation downgraded following an investigation by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).It found the course failed to meet 50 out of 77 accreditation standards.The university said it would immediately bring in external experts to address the issues raised."

The racism is not within the vet school - it is the school's handling of racism experienced at EMS placements that has been criticised. I think that is an important detail to call out to those who haven't read the full report.

True that it's important to make that distinction, but the fact remains that some BAME students do not feel that the vet school has done enough to protect them from racism on placements - these placements have not been blacklisted and are still available on the database for students to go to. This creates an unsafe environment where some students don't feel as valued as others simply because they're BAME.

And still it is one of the most coveted universities worldwide, people like what it represents far more than it actually is.
A flawed system that has resulted in mostly the rich always achieving 'highly' compared to everyone else when this is the actual standard.

If you actually take the time to read the report the quality of its clinical teaching was rated as outstanding! It was the admin systems in place and some of the safeguarding procedures that were lacking. One of the failure points was the state of tyres on one of the vehicles which hardly impacts the quality of teaching but is a safety issue.
I’m not particularly a fan of Cambridge but glorifying it’s downfall just because you have a grudge against an elitist institution ( elitist in the academic sense and nothing to do with social class) without having taken the time to check the facts behind the news articles is to trample over the hundreds of students who are currently studying veterinary medicine there and are facing ten months if not more of uncertainty.

Ok? it still has failed 55/77, over 71% failure of its standards and you are trying to defend them?

No. I’m just saying that anyone who has any experience of the veterinary medicine degree will know that controlling certain variables like placement providers is very difficult. Have you actually read the report so you know what criteria they failed on.?There is very little that actually criticises the teaching.
Cambridge is not the first vet school to have been taken to task but their collegiate system means that putting linear reporting procedures in place is more than complicated. So jubilatîng because a school that was recognised as providing outstanding clinical teaching by the RCVS may have to stop providing a course is something I find quite distasteful.

Neutral bystander here just putting a point of view that there does need to be a discussion on here ( if not on TSR, then where?)
Applicants/ their parents this year who receive more than one offer includingCambridge would want to know to make an informed decision
