Dear University of Otago,

I would like to urgently request under the Official Information Act 1982 the "Proposal for Consultation – Management of Change for the Department of Applied Sciences", specifically, the proposal which affects the Design for Technology Major, as approved by the Senate in a meeting on 24 June 2015.

I ask that the request be responded to urgently as students of the affected department have been given limited acknowledgement of the consultation period. The time to make an appropriate submission will not be possible unless an urgent request is granted.

Yours faithfully,

Zac Newton and Ben Alder
Class Representatives (Dept. Applied Sciences)

Dear University of Otago,

Thank you for the document requested. I would like to further request any documents under consideration with regards to the proposed disestablishment of the Department of Applied Sciences should they exist. I am making this request under the same conditions of urgency.

Yours faithfully,

Zac Newton
