Financial Relationship with the University of London
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to request the following information:
1. Please provide details on the amount paid by the University College London to the University of London in 2022. Why the UCL had to pay to the University of London whilst the UCL already possessed the degree awarding power?
2. Please provide details on the amount received by the UCL from the University of London in 2022.
3. Did the UCL generate income from the collaboration with the University of London Worldwide on online courses in 2022? If so, how much?
4. Does the UCL have a plan to quit the University of London?
In consideration of my disabilities, I request that your response be provided in an accessible PDF format with easy read format and a large font size of at least 16.
Yours faithfully,
Owen Neale

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you to complain against your unhelpful, incompetent staff member India Titeux who failed to read my request carefully but copied and pasted the answer to another different, irreverent request (Jeremy Bentham is completely irrelevant to my request this time).
Also, it has already been over the statutory deadline. When will you give me the information about the financial relationship with the University of London?
Yours sincerely,
Owen Neale

Dear Owen
I refer to my email below.
Our Office receives many FOIA requests, with the summer being particularly
busy. While we do usually manage to identify FOIA requests promptly,
unfortunately it seems in this case the request you made on 13 June 2024
was not picked up and logged into our queue at the time. This meant when
you followed up in July, it was then presumed you were chasing up your
request made in May that had already been responded to.
We apologise for this administrative oversight, and we will endeavour to
prevent a reoccurrence. In relation to your FOIA request, this has now
been picked up (UCL reference FOI 024-586) and will now be processed as a
priority.
Kind regards
