Can an instructor or a professor, in a FOIP request, gain access to a written evaluation of him/herself by a student?
Normally, since the instructor or professor is the subject of the evaluation, he/she would have access to the information. However, in some cases, if the evaluation was supplied explicitly or implicitly in confidence, the Institute may refuse to disclose the information. (Section 19) If all identifying information about the student evaluator can be severed, then the remaining information could be released. Can an individual who has been accused of sexual harassment, in a FOIP request, access a case advisor’s notes from an Office of Human Rights at an Institution? Normally, records would not be available where an active investigation is under way (Section 20(1)(c)) or where disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten anyone else’s safety or mental or physical health, or would breach the provisions regarding privileged information, including solicitor-client privilege.
