Dear Tara,
I refer to your request of 9 September 2020. Unfortunately, consultations
necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper
response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit. Accordingly the University has extended the time limit for your
request until 21 October 2020 under section 15A(1) of the Official
Information Act. You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman
about this extension.
Yours sincerely,
Rebecca Ewert
