University of the Arts London

The complainant has requested information relating to allegations of sexual harassment. The Commissioner’s decision is that University of the Arts London (UAL) is entitled to rely on section 12 in response to the request. UAL also fulfilled its obligations under section 16 of the FOIA by advising the complainant in its response of 24 May 2018 that it was unlikely it would be able to respond to a refined request within the cost limit. However, the Commissioner also finds that UAL has breached section 10 of the FOIA by failing to provide the information within the statutory time scale. The Commissioner does not require UAL to take any steps.
