WHY the University of Bolton would be "Astonished" by the fact that Mr Joe Whittaker had his appeal upheld against their refusal to supply information that is in the public domain is beyond me. "Uni Bosses Get 35 Days to Give Financial Details" July
Does it make a difference who asks for it? If it is there, doesn't he have a right, by law, to request it and be supplied with it?
According to Mr Whittaker, he worked as a senior lecturer at the university for over 20 years and loved working there so why should he not want to ensure his old place of work is protected.
Perhaps the more pertinent question should be "Why is the University of Bolton adverse to this information getting out" and are there other "Snippets" that we, as Bolton taxpayers should be aware of?
