University of Exeter

The complainant has requested information about the University and the Stonewall Equality Index. The University disclosed some information, confirmed other information was not held and withheld the remainder under section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The University then agreed to disclose further information but continued to withhold specific information under section 43(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that: the University holds a copy of its submission to Stonewall as per section 3(2)(b) and whilst the withheld information engages section 43(2), the public interest lies in disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps: either disclose the submission (with all personal data redacted) or issue a refusal notice under section 17 which explains why it’s exempt and disclose all withheld information (with all personal data redacted).

FOI 3: Complaint not upheld FOI 43(2): Complaint upheld
