From: S
Dear University of Auckland,
I am requesting information under the OIA in relation to the Senior Scholar Award awarded to LLB graduates.
I request all, or at least some, of the following:
(a): How many Senior Scholar Awards were awarded to LLB graduating students in the graduating years 2021, 2022 and 2023 (i.e. those that received the award in 2021, 2022 and 2023)?
(b): What was the method used to calculate the GPA of graduating LLB students in determining whether they were eligible for a Senior Scholar Award for the graduating years 2021, 2022 and 2023?
(c): Will the GPA calculation method under (b) change for the graduating year 2024?
(d): Based on the GPA calculation method in (b), what was the lowest GPA of a Senior Scholar Award recipient in each of the LLB graduating years 2021, 2022 and 2023? For avoidance of doubt, this includes Winter and Spring graduation ceremonies.
(e): Based on the GPA calculation method in (b), what was the highest GPA of a Senior Scholar Award recipient in each of the LLB graduating years 2021, 2022 and 2023? For avoidance of doubt, this includes Winter and Spring graduation ceremonies.
(f): Based on the GPA calculation method in (b), what was the mean GPA of the Senior Scholar Award recipients in each of the LLB graduating years 2021, 2022 and 2023? For avoidance of doubt, this includes Winter and Spring graduation ceremonies.
Yours faithfully,
S
