Cost of India visit

Peter Nielson made this Official Information request to Massey University

The request was partially successful.

From: Peter Nielson

Dear Massey University,

Under the Official Information Act 1982 I request the following information from the University:

- The total costs incurred by Massey University to send academics to India to sign an Memorandum of Understanding between Massey and the Indian National Institute for Fashion Technology? I wish to know how many Massey staff attended and total:

- Hotel expenditure
- Flight expenditure and class of travel
- Incidental expenditure
- Venue hire fees
- Any other expenditure

If the trip was funded by external agencies (i.e. Education NZ or MFAT) please transfer my request to those agencies.

I would also like a copy of the signed MoU and to know if Massey has received any financial contribution from the Indian National Institute for Fashion Technology.

Merry christmas,

Peter Nielson

Dear Jodie,

Many thanks for your response, I appreciate the released information.

I am interested in the MoU, however. Will Massey release a version to me with redactions of commercially sensitive material? It seems unreasonable to completely refuse releasing even part of the MoU.

I invite Massey to reconsider. Please let me know if Massey is amenable to a change of position.

Kind regards

Peter Nielson
