Good Morning,

On 8 June 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:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to the
following documents:
- University Council agenda and briefing papers for University Council
meeting held on or around 30th May, 2025

To assist in the processing of this request, I agree to the redaction
where necessary of any person's contact details, as well as redaction of
names of any person other than those people considered part of the
University Executive as defined by the University website at
[1]https://www.anu.edu.au/about/university-...

If you can provide the table of contents of the agenda I am happy to
assist in narrowing down the scope of the request to assist in your
processing.

Your request has been assigned the case number 202500121.

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 8 July 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 [2][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,

ANU FOI Team
