From: Liam White

Dear University of Otago,

I write to you to request under the Official Information Act 1982 information regarding the income from the Compulsory Student Services Fee 2021- present, including financial reporting on how the income is spent. This is includes but is not limited to where the funds are allocated and how much (both percentage and actual amount) is allocated to which services.

Further. I would like to formally request copies of the financial statements for all individual student services departments associated with the student levy for the same period. Additionally, I request access to the budgets for these departments over the same period.

Yours faithfully,
Liam White
