The request was successful.

Dear Minister of Education,
Has consent been granted under 253C of the Education Act for Oracle University and/or its training subcontractors to use the protected name "University" in association with offering online and or in classroom training in New Zealand?
If no consent has been granted, does the minister consider that Oracle University and/or its training subcontractors are committing an offence under the act by using the protected name "university" in association with training provided in New Zealand?

From: Hekia Parata (MIN)
On behalf of Hon Hekia Parata thank you for your email. Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.
All correspondence, including email, is routed through our mail tracking
process. Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.
If you are inviting the Minister to attend an event you are organising,
our office will be in touch shortly.
Kind regards
Office of Hon Hekia Parata, MP

Dear B. White,
I have today received the below email.
It seems this email was sent to the former Minister of Education the Hon Hekia Parata, hence no response.
If you would like to refresh your request and send it to me I will process this under the offical information act.
Kind regards

Dear Mr Sutherland,
It is surprising to me that the Hon Hekia Parata did not pass the request on to the appropriate office.
If you could assist in answering the below request which can now be directed to Minister Kaye it would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Brendan
