Not really. Where's the evidence for that?
All this shows is that the Principal doesn't manage by email. Proof of who asked what questions must be in project Board and SMG minutes. Even from the emails it's obvious in a couple of them that concerns were raised.

Dear Jack, You can easily prove or disprove your theory by submitting a FoI request for the disclosure of all minutes of the SLP Board meetings and the SLP related items of the minutes of the SMG meetings.

How come nobody complained about MyCampus to the Principal! Who are they trying to kid?

Well 'GU eyes' 'MyCampus Insider', how naive can you get? People will have complained, the emails will have been forwarded to those dealing with the complaint, and then deleted. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it out?

Dear Jack, you are wrong. The FOI Act clearly states:
“Any person making a request for information to a public authority is entitled—
(a)to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request, and (b)if that is the case, to have that information communicated to him.”
This simply means that no matter where the requested emails are stored under the Freedom of Information Act the University is obliged to release them.

The response reveals a shocking truth about the Principal.
A £14m project has failed spectacularly and he has never bothered to ask a simple question - what the hell is going on?
