            administrative authority, reviews whether the contested decision and the procedure precedi
            comply with legal regulations and the internal regulations of the University and the relev
            whether the contested decision is correct.

            Education Act), Act No. 500/2004 Coll., the Administrative Procedure Code, and the interna
