Dear Jeanne
In response to your OIA request of 2 July asking:
Outside of salary, what is the total annual amount of housing subsidy and vehicle benefits the vice
chancellor receives because of his position.
This information has been withheld under section 9(2)(a)of the Official Information Act 1982 to
protect the privacy of individuals and under section 29(1)(b) and 29(3) of the Privacy Act 1993 on the
grounds that it is subject to a promise of confidentiality.
Having considered the public interest in the information being released, we have concluded that the
public interest does not outweigh the need to withhold the information.
Under section 28(1)(a) of the Official Information Act 1982, you may ask the Ombudsmen to
investigate and review our decision to decline to provide some of the official information to you.
Yours sincerely
Alison Sykora
Head of Communications
