John McVicar

This, which is presumably an official biography, says McVicar did an external London degree in prison, and doesn't mention the OU. A quick google shows confirming evidence for that, and none that he did an OU degree. Does anyone have any evidence that he did? Not all distance-learning degrees are awarded by the Open University. --ajn (talk) 13:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Category:Alumni of the Open University

This has now been created to collect articles in a similar way to many other universities. However many of the alumni listed of this page do not have the Open University mentioned on their own page. So far I've limited additions to the category to those who do. Timrollpickering 13:29, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Additional Alumni

Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, Dave Sexton, also acquired a degree with the O.U. - I believe in Psychology. Whether he is significant enough to warrant inclusion (under the 'Miscellaneous' section) is a matter of debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taff Hewitt (talk • contribs) 21:05, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
