University of Oxford

The complainant has requested information about anonymous donations. The University of Oxford (‘the University’) relied on sections 43(2) and 40(2) of FOIA to withhold some information within scope of the request. These exemptions concern commercial interests and personal data respectively. The University subsequently advised the Commissioner that it would disclose a small amount of information that it had previously withheld. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University is correct to apply section 43(2) and section 40(2) of FOIA to information within scope of the complainant’s request that it continues to withhold. The University breached section 1(1) and section 10(1) in respect of the information it now intends to disclose. The University must take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: If it hasn’t already done so, disclose to the complainant the information discussed at paragraph 20 of this notice.
