Dear Samuel,

 

I refer to your request of 30 September 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 12 November
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,

Farleigh Quinlivan

Dear Samuel

 

I refer to your request of 30 September 2024.  We apologise for the delay
in our response.  The University’s response follows:

 

" Specifically, I am seeking detailed statistical data for the past five
years, including:

 

1. **Total Number of Applicants**:

   - First Year (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)

   - Graduate (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)

 

2. **Total Number of Offers Made**:

   - First Year (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)

   - Graduate (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)

 

3. **Total Number of Acceptances**:

   - First Year (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)

   - Graduate (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic)"

 

The information requested is attached. 

 

“4. **Demographic Breakdown**:

   - Applicants, offers, and acceptances by gender and ethnicity for each
category (General, Māori, Pacific, Rural, Refugee, Socioeconomic) over the
past five years.”

 

“5. **Regional Data**:

   - Number of applicants and accepted students from each region in New
Zealand for the past five years.”

The statistics requested – demographic breakdown by gender and ethnicity
and breakdown by geographic region – are not held by the University.  The
OIA enables people to request official information from agencies including
the University, however, the OIA only applies to information that is
already held by the University and there is no obligation on the
University to create information in order to respond to a request.  This
constitutes a refusal of this part of your request, under section 18(g) of
the OIA.

 

“6. **Additional Relevant Statistics**:

   - Any further insights into the admission process for the MBChB program

 

This is not a request for specified official information under the OIA. If
you make a further request for specified official information, the
University will action it and respond in due course under the OIA.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
