The complainant has requested information from the University of Manchester (“the University”) for information about the number of teaching assistants employed by the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures over a period of four academic years. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the FOIA in the following way: it failed to provide a response to the request within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days as set out in section 10 of the FOIA. As a response has now been provided, the Commissioner requires the University to take no steps.
