Key legal question
Whether the cantonal administrative court's refusal to hear the complaint against the diploma denial was arbitrary under Art. 9 BV
Extracted holding
The refusal of jurisdiction was not arbitrary; treating the timeliness of submitting a graded assignment as part of the assessment was defensible.
Extracted reasoning
Under § 52 no. 11 VRPG, the administrative court may hear appeals about admission to examinations only for purely formal prerequisites. The timeliness of a submission connected to a graded performance can reasonably be viewed as part of the performance assessment, so another interpretation being possible does not make the chosen one unconstitutional.
