Support for Kate Kennedy Fellowship
Today has seen support for the newly founded Kate Kennedy Fellowship. In an email sent to university students earlier today, the rector Alasdair Moffat stated how he offered his “wholehearted support” the addition of female members which the KK denies membership to. With the subsequent refusal of the KK to include women, he proceeded to inform the student community of his decision to dissolve his relationship with the society as he was a Life member.
The Chair of the Kate Kennedy Procession, Lady Catherine Erskine has also revealed her support for the proposed changes having consulted other members of the procession committee. Lady Erskine hopes that future events will flourish with the inclusion of the entire student body in the “traditional celebration of the town and its historic university”.
