Dear City University London,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of City University London's handling of my FOI request 'Admission statistics'.

As you may be aware, ICO guidance states that when applying for a Section 43 exemption, an authority "must show that because [the information] is commercially sensitive, disclosure would be, or would be likely to be, prejudicial to the commercial activities of a person (an individual, a company, the public authority itself or any other legal entity)".
This response does not appear to have included such details, so I am requesting that you conduct an internal review, and, if the exemption is upheld, show how the release would be prejudicial to commercial activities, and of whom.
This is further strengthened by the fact that I have managed to find the very admission statistics that were refused to be released because this would supposedly hurt the commercial interests of City's business school. If there is curiosity as to whether I hold this information, which is freely available online even though it is allegedly against the commercial interests of City, I will list some of the information here.

For the 2020 admission:
Full-time students 72
International students 65
Average class size 67
Applications received 593
Offers made 225
Offers accepted 93

This clearly shows that City has released this information in the past. If the 2021/22 admission is too recent then I do not mind if that specific admission cycle is not released.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Best Wishes,

Iyaaz Ahmed
