21 August 2014, Education (University)
The complainant requested from Brunel University (“the University”) a copy of its drafts and its final version of its Research Excellence Framework (“REF”) submission for 2014 for the Mathematics and Economics department. The University refused to provide the information under section 22 (information intended for future publication) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has correctly applied section 22 to the requested information and he therefore does not require the University to take any further steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 22: Not upheld
