93. Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. Sexenniums of teachers

SUMMARY

A citizen submitted an application for access to the list of genders accrued by Spanish university professors, recognized by ANECA.

The Ministry denied the information on the grounds that it infringes the right to personal data protection.

The Council for Transparency and Good Governance partially considered the complaint, since Organic Law 4/2007 on Universities itself provides for the publication of data on the teaching and research activity of public evaluation institutions. However, ANECA, which carries out these tasks, only has information relating to recognized sexenniums, not information relating to whether its holders continue to work as university professors.
