The complainant has requested information relating to the charity known as Common Purpose. The University provided the complainant with information in response to the request however it made redactions under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the University correctly applied section 40(2) to make the redactions to most of the information provided. However the Commissioner does not consider that the University was correct to apply section 40(2) to the substance of a student quote. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the redacted student quote, however the name of the student who provided the quote, should not be disclosed. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0183 dismissed.
