Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusing a personal oral hearing violated the right to be heard under Article 29(2) BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. In administrative proceedings there is no general constitutional right to an oral personal hearing; the file and written submissions were sufficient here.
Extrahierte Begründung
The facts were straightforward and well documented, the student's poor performance was undisputed, and the decision did not depend on an assessment of personality that required direct observation.
