Dear Edward,

 

I refer to your request of 14 February 2026.  The University’s response
follows.

 

‘Please provide me with the lowest and median GPA and Weighted Averages of
those who have graduated from the University of Auckland with an LLB,
LLB(Hons) or conjoint LLB/LLB(Hons) degree who received the Dean's
Academic Excellence Award for graduating in the top 10% of their cohort,
from 2021 to 2025.’

 

The statistics requested are not held by the University and cannot be
generated through an existing report. Staff would manually need to review
files for each individual recipient for each of the specified years,
determine which of them has the lowest and median GPA and Weighted
Averages for that year, and record that information to create the
requested statistics. Your request is refused under section 18(g) of the
OIA.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
