Dear Matthew,

 

I refer to your request of 3 April 2024. As consultations necessary to
make a decision on your request are such that a response cannot reasonably
be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the
time limit for your request under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. The new
maximum time limit for the University’s response is 16 May 2024; we will
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. You have the
right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with
this extension.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Landon Watt

Dear Matthew,

 

I refer to your request of 3 April 2024. The information requested is
attached, subject to the following:

 

o Standard deviations are not calculated for successful applicants. The
University does not hold this information, and the OIA does not
require us to create it. This part of your request is refused under
section 18(g) of the OIA.

o The mean and minimum score information requested for the Students with
Disabilities, Students from Refugee Backgrounds, and Low
Socio-Economic Background UTAS is withheld under section 9(2)(a) of
the OIA protect the privacy of those students.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,
