University of South Wales

The complainant requested copies of minutes of the Board of Governors meetings and a number of confidential annexes referred to in earlier minutes of meetings of the Board of Governors. The University applied sections 22, 36 and 43 to the request. The complainant was unhappy with the decision of the University of South Wales (‘the University’) to withhold the confidential annexes. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the University disclosed some of the information it originally withheld. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University correctly applied sections 36, 40(2) and 43 to the remaining withheld information. She does not require any steps to be taken.
