“I contend that there is a pressing social need to know the details of the Events that took place at the University of Essex that are recounted in the Report...” 117. In the GoA (A51) he puts his case that:-  those UoE officials who took decisions concerning the Events recounted in the Report should be identified by name and title, for reasons of accountability.  the names and identifying information of all others (e.g. junior staff, students) should be redacted.  that UoE officials who are in senior, decision-making and/or public-facing roles should be identified including the VC, the Registrar, heads of departments and centres, senior academic staff. 118. The Appellant also says that in his view (A51) where information has been put into the public domain voluntarily it should be disclosed in full but that “It nevertheless seems reasonable, as a courtesy to those individuals, to redact their names and other identifying information (such as Twitter handles)” 119. The Appellant in the GoA reviewed 15 classes of data in the Report(A37) and his view on each (A52) as regards this exemption. These are summarised below:The Report Appellant's view General background information about the University of Essex and its subdivisions This is manifestly not personal data General background information about the two invited speakers This is general background information that was voluntarily placed in the public domain by the two speakers; moreover, it is in no way sensitive. Items (1) and (4) both apply. General background information about the two Events General background information about the two Events is not personal data. The proposed content of the two invited speakers’ contributions was voluntarily placed in the public domain by the two speakers; items (1) and (4) both apply.
