Dear
Rawiri
Official information request for external reports commissioned around the
Student Success Project
I refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act)
dated
25 November 2020:
“Just as a follow up for my question about the student success project and a
request for the PWC report, if there are any other external reports that were
commissioned around the project can I please have those also.
For clarity reports like the PWC report that deal with oversight, review and
outcomes.”
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20
working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible
to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
time to make our decision, to
12 February 2021. This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit, taking into account the fact that many University personnel are on leave over
the holiday period.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact me at
[VUW request email]. Yours sincerely
