Dear Ms Walker,

 

I refer to your three requests of 31 August 2018.

 

Your requests are for a large quantity of official information and
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information. Meeting the
original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of
the University. Accordingly the University has extended the time limit
until 19 October 2018 under s 15A of the Official Information Act.

 

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Ewert

General Counsel

The University of Auckland
