Goldsmiths, University of London

The complainant submitted a request to Goldsmiths College (University of London) on 2 June 2024 seeking information about Goldsmiths' relationships with consultants.

A public authority will breach section 10 of FOIA if it fails to respond to a request within 20 working days. On 5 July and 16 September 2024, the complainant wrote to the public authority, reminding it of its responsibilities and asking it to provide a response to their request. The public authority has failed to respond other than an acknowledgment of the initial request.

The public authority must provide a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under FOIA.

The public authority must take this step within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
