The complainant has requested information relating to an article namely "Fredrick Jackson Turner's Frontier Thesis, Orientalism, and the Austrian Militärgrenze". The University of Cambridge (the university) refused to confirm or deny whether the information was held citing section 40(5B) (a)(i) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the university is not entitled to rely on section 40(5B) (a)(i) of FOIA and that it should have relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold parts of the information. The Commissioner requires the university to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose information in relation to parts 1a, 1b, 2, 3b and some of the information contained in part 4a of the request. The public authority must take these steps within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
