Dear Durham University,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Durham University's handling of my FOI request 'Undergraduate Admission Statistics for UK Students'.
[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]
I do not think it is reasonable to expect students to pay for the UCAT EXACT service for information which can be provided by the University fairly easily. Students often do not have any earnings and some could even be facing challenging economic circumstances. By denying information regarding basic admission details to all the prospective students, the unievrsity of Exeter information office is putting certain students at disadvantage. I believe fair and equal acces to admission statistics to all prospective students irrespective of their economic conditions is important to ensure there is a level playing field when appliying for the university admission.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/u...
Yours faithfully,
Manasi Rao
