Freedom of Information Requests to UK Universities |
|
| Requests |
If you wish to suggest
a request to a specific university please e-mail details to Requests@AcademicFOI.Com |
| We are happy to
receive requests off the record or anonymously. They will be
submitted under our name. |
| Unless an appeal is
required responses will usually be posted on our website within
30 days. We will reject frivolous requests and may broaden or
alter requests if they are likely to identify any individual. |
|
| Reports |
Reports are compiled
by sending the same FOI request to all 125 UK universities and
tabulating the responses. |
| These are a useful way
of highlighting aspects of a university which differ from the
majority or examining key features of the higher education
system. |
| If you have a
suggestion for a topic that you would like us to research please
e-mail details to Reports@AcademicFOI.Com |
|
| Bulletins |
