Mike, We've told them to ask HESA for this data: the information is publicly available via HESA so it isn't really an FOI request. Regards, Sally Sally Turnbull Corporate Strategy Manager | University of Central Lancashire | Adelphi Building 110 | Preston PR1 2HE t: 01772 892398 e: [log in to unmask] www.uclan.ac.uk >>> Mike Wilson <[log in to unmask]> 16/10/2007 12:42 >>> Is anybody else out in Planning land having to deal with this? It raises the usual issues... 1. How can we be certain they're getting a consistent response from all institutions? 2. What is the point of us spending time returning data to HESA and then having to deal with a plethora of requests similar to this? I guess we'll just have to respond to this, but I'd be interested to know if others have refused and on what grounds. I think this is setting a worrying precedent, particularly with the press, whose FOI requests are becoming much more frequent.
