Key legal question
Whether the right to be heard was violated and, if so, whether the defect was cured on appeal.
Extracted holding
The university leadership violated the right to be heard by failing to inform the employee about important submissions, but the defect was cured before the Erziehungsdirektion because she could inspect the file and comment fully.
Extracted reasoning
The violation was not particularly serious; the appellate administrative proceedings provided full access to the files and an opportunity to respond. The court found no arbitrariness in the conclusion that the original decision would have been the same even after the employee's rebuttal.
