The complainant has requested information about the election of former Vice-Chancellors and the current Vice-Chancellor. The University of Oxford (‘the University’) advised it didn’t hold some information and disclosed relevant information with personal data redacted under section 40(2) of FOIA. In the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the University advised that there was additional information that it hadn’t been able to locate but that it was prepared to disclose some information to which it had previously applied section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The University is entitled to withhold personal data under section 40(2) of FOIA. On the balance of probabilities, the University doesn’t hold any further information within scope of the request. The University didn’t comply with sections 1(1) and 10(1) as it didn’t communicate all the non-exempt information that it holds within the statutory period. The Commissioner requires the University to 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 10, having redacted the personal data referred to.
