Thank you for your email.
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as practicable and within the 20 working day time period. Please note that our staff are working through an unusually busy period given the current environment and the beginning of the 2022 academic year.
As noted in my previous email, in order to process your request more efficiently, could you please clarify the time period you are interested in receiving the information for? For example, would the number of papers expunged in the 2021 academic year suffice? Additionally, if you were able to clarify any specific papers or Divisions you are interested in receiving the information for, it may speed up the processing of your request.
We will wait to hear back from you before we continue to process your request.
