Dear K H Ross
Official information request - MOUs and MOAs with PRC universities
I refer to your official information request dated 13 January 2021 where you requested a list of PRC
universities with which the University of Waikato has a MOU or MOA, and a copy of the MOU or MOA
agreements for each of these universities.
The University has given due consideration to your request. The outcome of this consideration is that
the University has agreed in part to your request.
The University discloses the following information:
1. A list of PRC universities with which the University has a MOU or MOA as of 18 February 2021
(
attached); and
2. Disclosed documents provided in a zip file sent to
fyi-request-14448-
[email address].
The University has identified documents on the list that it wishes to withhold under section 9(2)(b)(ii)
and/or section 9(2)(i) and/or section 9(2)(j) of the Official Information Act 1982. Disclosure of these
documents may prejudice the PRC University’s commercial position and/or may prejudice the
commercial activities (or potential activities) of the University and/or may disadvantage the University
to carry on with any negotiations.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
