Come on guys - I know it's Friday!!
Unless my brain is missing, I think the request for details about
students is not the research purpose here - the researcher is asking for
a list of students so their attitudes etc can be assessed!
The research could be into things like "what students eat for breakfast
when they get up in the afternoon"; the researcher is asking "can I have
a list of students please".
Section 33 is irrelevant here. It applies when a data controller is
doing the actual research into about STUDENTS.
So normal fair processing notice + Sched 2 condition please (most likely
consent) if there is a disclosure of personal data.
