Communications relating to university funding: FOI release

Information requested

Any communications (including letters, emails and phone calls) between the Scottish Government and Scottish universities regarding government funding for universities. I would like this information from 01 August 2020 to 30 September 2020.

Response

I attach a copy of most of the information you requested in the attached Annex A.

An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. names, contact details, and other identifiable information, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.

Where reasonably practicable I have provided the correspondence in its original format, however for some documents the text has been extracted from its original format to assist with the redaction of information. There is no alteration to the content of the original text, except those redactions.
