Official information request regarding Yael Holan guest lecture
We refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) dated 3 October 2024 regarding Ms. Yael Holan’s guest lecture at the University.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20
working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible
to meet that time limit, and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
timeframe to make our decision to 15 November 2024.
This extension is required because consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of the
decisions made regarding this request. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact us at
[VUW request email].
