Subject: Official Information request - Number of Law Students/Maori Law
Students

 

Dear University of Auckland,

 

This is a request for information, made under the provisions of sections 4
and 5 of the Official Information Act 1982 (“the Act”). I therefore would
like the following information;

 

1. For the academic years of 2016, 2017 and 2018 (the "Period"), please
provide the following data sets:

(a) The number of students enrolled in an LLB program. If possible, it
would be helpful if this could be split into those in "pre-law" (ie first
year) and "law students" (ie those who have made it into Law School);

(b) The number of students who are Māori who are enrolled in an LLB
program. If possible, it would be helpful if this could be split into
those in "pre-law" (ie first year) and "law students" (ie those who have
made it into Law School); and

(c) any other information related to the number/proposition of Law
students to Māori Law students at your university for the Period.

As required by s12(1) of the Act, I am a New Zealand citizen. I will
provide confirmation of this, if required. However, since all of our
correspondence will be published on the FYI.org.nz site, I will only do so
over the phone or email. This would only be for the purpose of citizenship
confirmation, and nothing further related to this request.

 

As required under s15A of the Act, if you believe that a time extension is
warranted for this request, you must under sections 15A(2),(3) and (4)
give notice to me of this extension within 20 working days after the day
on which my request was received. In that notice, you should state; the
period of the extension, give reasons for the extension and remind me of
my right to complain to the Ombudsman under s28(3). Finally, the extension
must be for a reasonable time, having regards to the circumstances.

 

As required by s18B of the Act, you must consider consulting me before
refusing my request under the provisions of sections 18(e) and (f) which
relate to a document not being able to be found or existing or where
substantial collation and research would be required for my current
request.

 

As required by s19(a)(i), you must provide reasons if you refuse any parts
of this request.

 

This request is made through the site FYI.org.nz. All correspondence will
be automatically forwarded to me through the site and published online
immediately. I require, where appropriate, all electronic copies of all
documents in your response. For more information on how the site works,
please visit [3]www.fyi.org.nz/help/about.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Liam Stoneley
