Dear University of Waikato,

Please provide the CV and the the Recommendation or Cover letter relating to the appointment of Sue Hayward as Honorary Professor Nursing which I believe happened in 2023 or around that time.

Yours faithfully,

Miss W. Forest

Dear University of Waikato
Attn OIA Admin,

Re: https://fyi.org.nz/request/28762-cv-and-...

Please provide the reasoning how did you refuse the request pursuant to Official Information Act 1982 ("OIA") and not solely by Privacy Act which you cannot rely on when dealing with OIA request.

In particular please explain the consideration why s. 9 of OIA applies. I believe you can only withhold the information if the very limited specific clauses apply -- together considering the public interest.

I find it hard to believe that releasing a CV and cover letter of a high level public official who has been otherwise publizised e.g. through recent Waikato memo release and who was later overturned publicly by both the minister and chief executive of Health NZ relating to public policy guidance about supremacy of english language in the society.

Please re-consider and please provide the reasons why did you refuse to provide the public information.

Yours sincerely,

Miss W. Forest
