The appellant made a request to the university for access to information about herself for a four-month period in 2017. The university located eight responsive records and granted partial access. The university denied access to record 1 under section 49(b) (personal privacy), and to records 7 and 8 under section 49(a) (discretion to refuse requester’s own information) read with section 19 (solicitor-client privilege). In this order, the adjudicator upholds the university’s decision to deny access to records 7 and 8. The adjudicator partially upholds the university's decision to deny access to record 1 and orders the university to disclose a severed version of record 1 to the appellant by removing the personal information of another individual.
