Open University

The complainant has requested information relating to the salary paid to a specified member of the University’s staff.  The University refused to disclose that information, citing section 40(2) of FOIA by virtue of section 40(3)(a)(i) as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the requested information. The Commissioner therefore requires no steps to be taken by the University.
