Dear requester,

 

I refer to your request of 4 July 2024. The University’s response follows.

 

"(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)?"

2021: 0

2022: 5 (including conjoints)

2023: 0

 

“(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?”

See the attached Senior Scholar Award regulations.

 

“(c): Will the GPA calculation method under (b) change for the graduating
year 2024?”

This GPA calculation method has not changed for 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.”

 

The University does not hold these statistics and is not required to
create them under the OIA. Your requests d, e and f are refused under
section 18(g) of the OIA.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,
