Craccum Magazine made this Official Information request to University of Auckland
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Craccum Magazine to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Craccum Magazine
Dear University of Auckland,
I am requesting the records for the amount of funding allocated from the University's CSSF to be given to AUSA for the provisioning of Craccum Magazine for the past decade (2015-2025). For example: Page 10 of https://www.auckland.ac.nz/assets/study/...
Yours faithfully,
Craccum Magazine

Dear requester,
I refer to your request of 11 August 2025. 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 until 6 October 2025 under section 15A(1)(b)
of the OIA. 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,
Landon Watt

Dear requester,
I refer to your request of 11 August 2025. I apologise for the delay in
the University's response. The University's response follows.
"I am requesting the records for the amount of funding allocated from the
University's CSSF to be given to AUSA for the provisioning of Craccum
Magazine for the past decade (2015-2025)"
The University does not hold records for the amount of funding allocated
from the CSSF to Craccum specifically. AUSA has been responsible for
allocating payments to Craccum. The University does, however, provide
information on expenditure from the CCSF in the media category in its
annual reports, as published on the University's website at
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/a...,
and recently we have provided forecasts for funding allocation from the
CSSF to Craccum in consultation documents published annually on the
University's website at
[2]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/study/fees....
See attached a document setting out this information.
We have been advised by AUSA that the final amounts they allocated to
Craccum for 2022-2024 were as follows:
2022 - $127,309
2023 - $144,713
2024 - $124,575
This response constitutes a partial refusal of your request under section
18(g) of the OIA, as the University does not hold part of the information
requested and we do not believe that information is held by, or is more
closely connected with the functions of, another agency subject to the OIA
(as AUSA is not subject to the OIA). You have the right to make a
complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with the University's
response.
Yours sincerely,
Landon Watt
