Application for judicial review of university academic decision dismissed as reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a university senate appeals committee decision denying him a specialized accounting degree.
The dispute centered on whether a specific strategic management course could be included in calculating his grade point average for the specialization.
The Divisional Court held that the committee's decision on an academic matter was subject to a reasonableness standard of review and found the decision to exclude the course was reasonable.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
