General principle of HR professionals regarding recording of appeals

Bruce Beckles made this Freedom of Information request to University of Cambridge

University of Cambridge did not have the information requested.

From: Bruce Beckles

24 February 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

In the University's response to a FOI request from myself,
available on-line at:

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/re...

I was told that:

"It is a generally accepted principle amongst HR professionals that
such hearings are not recorded"

where "such hearings" refers to:

"appeal, grievance, disciplinary, etc. hearings in the University"
(in which the term "appeal hearing" is understood to cover appeals
against the outcome of the recent "assimilation to the new grading
structure and single salary spine" exercise, as well as any other
meaning which the University may ascribe to this term)

Please therefore supply any information held by the University that
supports the claim that "it is a generally accepted principle
amongst HR professionals that such hearings are not recorded".

Yours faithfully,

Bruce Beckles

Bruce Beckles left an annotation (13 March 2009)

So "generally accepted principles" are conveniently utterly unsupported by any "recorded information" held by the University. One has to wonder how that differs from "we made it up"?
