The Conference of Colleges

The complainant requested various information in relation to discussions or opinions on the topic of “occupation of the Wellington Sq offices by pro-Palestine activist groups such as OA4P”. The Conference of Colleges (University of Oxford) (the Conference) did not respond to the request. Following the intervention of the Commissioner, the Conference  informed the Commissioner that it was not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Conference is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA and is not therefore required to respond to the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
