Dear Mr Black,
Re: Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 – Request for Information
Thank you for your email which was received by the University on 7 February timed 12:52
hours, requesting the following information:
“Has any member of the Student Lifecycle Project Board been awarded a salary
increase, or a one off payment, since 1st October 2009? If so, please provide the name
of the person, date of the award, the amount of the award and the justification for the
award.”
University’s Response
Two members of the Student Lifecycle Project Board were awarded one off payments as a
result of Principal’s Review Board in 2008/09 (one payment of £3,000 and one payment of
£4,000 paid in December 2009). In 2009/10 three members of the Student Lifecycle Project
Board were awarded one off payments as a result of Principal’s Review Board (two payments
of £2,000 and one payment of £4,000 paid in May 2010).
The identity of those members of the Student Lifecycle Project Board who received one off
payments have been withheld as the identities are considered as personal data as defined in
the Data Protection Act 1998. Therefore the exemption from release of the information
applies as specified under sections 38(1)(b) and 38(2) of the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002. This exemption is an absolute exemption under the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Please note that the University has interpreted your request as the date when any payments
were made.
The supply of documents under the terms of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
does not give the applicant or whoever receives the information any right to re-use it in such a
way that might infringe the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (for example, by making
multiple copies, publishing or otherwise distributing the information to other individuals and the
public). The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (Consequential Modifications) Order
