Is it weird that they wouldn't approve the other one? Yes.

I do think it's weird. But the program is a direct exchange with Oxford NOT a program through another university, so I doubt there is a kickback for Columbia. I think the problem lies in an overly rigid administration rather than something else.
However, the reason the young man interviewed went through a different program for Oxford was probably because he wasn't chosen for the incredibly competitive program that Columbia offers.
From their website:

Approximately 16 students a year go to an Oxbridge college to study their major. Students should have at least a 3.6 GPA. Student selection is made by application due by December 1st of the sophomore year. The Committee will select students with a strong academic record and by appropriate major for study at an Oxbridge college.
