Decision from Information Commissioner on University of Sheffield

A member has alerted us to a recent decision by the Information Commissioner concerning the University of Sheffield’s refusal to disclose information relating to Employment Tribunal claims over a three year period.  For example, University management are refusing to say how much has been spent on legal costs.  SUCU Committee fully support the need for the information on Employment Tribunal data and will watch this with interest and of course keep members updated.
