The complainant has requested information from the School of Oriental and African Studies (“the SOAS”) regarding its Southeast Asian Academic Art Programme (“SAAAP”). The SOAS disclosed some of the requested information, however it withheld some under various FOIA exemptions. The exemptions regarding which the complainant complained to the Commissioner are sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of the FOIA are engaged in relation to the specific withheld information, however the public interest in disclosure of the information outweighs that in maintaining the exemptions in all the circumstances of the case.
