Good afternoon

 

On 13 October  2025, the Australian National University (the University)
received your request for access to documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

 

The University has taken your request to be as follows:

 

(1) all written records (including emails, text messages, Teams messages,
etc.) between the University and all ANU Council Members (including but
not limited to the Chancellor, the VC, appointed Council members, elected
Council members, and the Chair of Academic Board) about their availability
to attend a Senate Committee Hearing on 12 August 2025

(2) all written records within the ANU discussing Council members'
attendance or non-attendance at the Senate Committee Hearing on 12 August
2025 (including planning and coordination emails)

(3) all written records between the ANU and the Senate Committee about
Council members' attendance or non-attendance at the Senate Committee
Hearing on 12 August 2025

 

 

Your request has been assigned the case number 202500265.

 

Processing Timeframe

 

The statutory time frame for processing your request is 30 calendar days
from day after the date your request was received by the University. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 13 November 2025.

 

This period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third
parties, impose a charge or for other reasons. We will advise you in
writing if this happens.

 

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact. If you have
any questions regarding your request, please feel free to contact the FOI
Team via the functional email [1][ANU request email].

 

The FOI Team’s workload is currently at very high levels due the
unprecedented volume of FOI requests.

 

We are using our best endeavors to process all requests expeditiously
however there may be some slippage due to the current workload. We will
keep in touch with you and advise if there are any significant delays,
and, will, if necessary, seek extensions as permitted by the Act.

 

Yours sincerely
