10 July 2017, Education (University)
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the University of Sussex (the University) for marketing data. The University refused the request under the section 43(2) (commercial interests) exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 43(2) was correctly applied and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 43: Not upheld
