Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Considerations

Extract:

The complainant's application for an appointment was eliminated because he did not meet the minimum qualification [a university degree]. "He asserts, which may be right, that the qualifications are higher than those needed for the job", but does not support the allegation. He makes other allegations of procedural irregularities and general prejudice against him, "allegations which it is unnecessary to consider since, so long as the educational qualification stands, the rejection of the complainant was inevitable."
