Synopsis
|
Grievant was an unsuccessful applicant for the principalship that she applied for. She claimed that she was more qualified than a successful applicant and alleged favoritism. The exercise of the judgment as to which candidate is most qualified by individuals who are trained to make such decisions will be upheld unless show to be arbitrary and capricious or clearly wrong. Interviews when conducted fairly are relevant to making a determination as to applicants' qualifications. Grievant failed to establish that respondent erred in its finding that successful applicant was more qualified or that the selection process was flawed.
