Apologies for cross-posting Have any of you been asked by the South African High Commission in London for the names of all African Economics graduates between 1980 and 1990? Apparently they are investigating a fraud case where the suspect is using multiple identities. By not doing so we would be inhibiting the progress of a criminal investigation, and we do wish to cooperate as far as DPA legislation permits. We would definitely confirm such details about a named individual (since graduation is a public event), but we have reservations about providing a list of Economics graduates just to facilitate a 'fishing expedition'. I am minded to ask them to provide the specific names they wish to investigate, and then we can confirm whether the person holds a degree from us, rather than just provide a list of *everybody* graduating in Economics over a 10-year period. Any advice?
