Kia ora Yuni
I refer to your request for information dated 24 March 2023 made under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act). You have requested the following information:
“How many students enrolled for HSFY in 2023? And how many international students are
there in HSFY?”
Please see below our response to your request.
We decline your request pursuant to section 18(d) of the Act on the basis that this information will
soon be publicly available. Enrolment numbers are expected to be confirmed at the University of
Otago Council meeting to be held on 27 April 2023. We would be happy to provide you with the
information you have requested once the information has been approved by Council.
In the above case, we consider that good reasons exist for withholding information, and this is not
outweighed by other considerations which would make it desirable, in the public interest, to make
the information available.
If you are not satisfied with our response to your information request, section 28(3) of the Act
provides you with the right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate and review this response. However,
we would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns with you first.
