Dear Auckland University of Technology,
Under the Official Information Act, I am making the following request as a person who is in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Please let me know how many PhD candidates at AUT received an outright failure (no degree awarded) as the outcome of their oral examination in 2020, 2019, and 2018 respectively.
I trust my query is clear.

Dear Auckland University of Technology,
It appears that AUT has not acknowledged receipt of my request yet. Therefore, I have personally sent an email to Dr Andrea Vujnovich to follow this up.
I am still looking forward to receiving your response.
Yours faithfully,
Morteza

Tēnā koe Alison,
Thank you for your response.
Could you please clarify whether the AUT' reply to my OIA request corresponds to each year (2018, 2019, 2020) of my query or it was a total number of the failed PhDs in 2018-2020? Please confirm if only one PhD student received an outright failure following the oral examination at AUT during 2018-2020.
I look forward to receiving your response.
Ngā mihi,
Morteza.
