University of York

The complainant has requested information on skills bootcamps run by HyperionDev and accredited by the University of York (the University). The University disclosed or answered the majority of the parts of the request but withheld information relating to the financials of the arrangement under section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has correctly engaged the exemption in relation to part (3) of the request and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption and withholding the information. The Commissioner does find that the public authority breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to provide a response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. No steps are required.
