Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to amend Art. 13 of the recognition regulations violated equality and arbitrariness because title conversion was tied to school upgrading rather than to the diploma itself.
Solution extraite
The challenged transitional rule is not arbitrary and does not breach equality, because different rules are permissible within separate competence areas and the criterion serves the aim of protecting title accuracy and public reliance.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal concordat area may adopt rules different from federal law. The distinction between higher vocational schools and universities/fachhochschulen is materially relevant because only the latter provide research, development, and broader services. Granting FH titles without a corresponding FH institution would be misleading.
