The University of Toronto (the university) received two requests under the Act for records related to the appellant’s interactions with the university and its staff.
The university denied access to the records in full, claiming the exclusion at section 65(6)3 (employment or labour relations) applies to an internal investigative report about an employee and emails about the report and the exemption at section 49(a) (discretion to refuse requester’s own information), read with section 20 (threat to safety or health), applies to the remaining records, which are emails and reports.
In this order, the adjudicator upholds the university’s decision that the investigative report and emails about the report are excluded from the scope of the Act by reason of section 65(6)3. She also upholds the university’s decision that the remaining records are exempt by reason of section 49(a), read with section 20.
