Dear Ken,

Thank you for your request for information received by The University of
Manchester on 06 August 2018 which was as follows:

 

Please could you provide me with your university's response to the survey
of Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) employers that took place in
October 2016, subsequent to the town hall events that took place in
September 2016 run by USS, Universities UK (UUK) and Aon in relation to UK
Higher Education pensions strategy.

 

The University has now considered your request and I can confirm that no
information is held by us in relation to it.

 

This is because the survey was an external survey hosted on the URL
[1]https://www.criticalsurveys.co.uk. Any responses to the survey were
sent via this website and were not retained by The University of
Manchester.

 

Kind regards

 

Sharon

Dear MTRS FOIA,

Many thanks for your response. I understand that the response was done via an online survey and no copy of this direct response is held. However, was a draft response retained by the university? If so, I would be grateful if you could send me this draft response.

Yours sincerely,

Ken Tsui

MTRS FOIA, University of Manchester

Good afternoon Ken,

As you have questioned the University's response, we feel it is best to treat this as an Internal Review. This will give the University the opportunity to review the initial decision-making and response by a member of staff not party to the original process. We will aim to complete the review within 20 working days i.e. by 01 October 2018.

Kind regards

Sharon
