University of York

The complainant requested copies of professional or academic emails and attachments exchanged between four named individuals at the University of York from 1 January 2023, with personal content redacted. The university disclosed the information it held within scope, withholding some information under section 40(2) of FOIA as third‑party personal data. The Commissioner finds that, on the balance of probabilities, the university does not hold any further information within scope and that section 40(2) was correctly applied. No steps are required.
