Information Commissioner's Office

University of Sunderland

24 October 2017, Education (University)

The complainant has requested information from the university which details the disposal or transfer of course material, resources and hardware for a number of courses offered to undergraduates at the time it was a Polytechnic. The university provided some explanations and answers to his questions but informed the complainant that it holds no recorded information of the nature specified in his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the university does not hold the requested information. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
