University of London

The complainant has requested a report into the University of London’s handling of a student protest which involved the occupation of the university buildings. The University refused the request under section 36 on the basis that disclosing the information would prejudice the conduct of public affairs by inhibiting the free and frank exchange of views. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36 can only be relied on to withhold a limited amount of the information in the report. The Commissioner requires the public authority To disclose the remaining information from the report. The Commissioner has produced a confidential annex which identifies the information that can be withheld. This will be made available exclusively to the University. The University is required to disclose all the information from the report, apart from that identified in the annex.

FOI 36: Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: fs50834370
