Dear requester,

 

I refer to your request for official information below. As consultations

cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the University
has extended the time limit for your request until 31 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
