of ethical violation on the grounds that he made a false and misleading statement. He
stated that there was no violation of the legislation regarding the inclusion of the work
in question in his application file for 2022 March term in the field of Econometrics.
Thus, the complainant claimed he added the study in question to the application file
since there was no legal obstacle in presenting the study in the associate professorship
application he made in March 2022. He argued that the decision made by the Associate
Professorship commission for 2022 March term was not a lawful decision. He pointed
out that even if the study in question was not counted in the associate professorship
application file, the total score of the studies he carried out was far above the minimum
requirement of 100 points required for the application to associate professorship. He
added that if the associate professorship committee deems it appropriate, they could
disregard this study and remove it from the application file. The complainant requested
a re-examination of the associate professorship application file, claiming that although
the same work was included in the application for associate professorship he made
in the previous term, the work in question did not prevent the application, and he
requested that the unfair decision given by the Associate Professorship Commission be
reviewed and corrected. During the investigation-examination phase initiated by the
Ombudsman Institution, the Institution requested information and documents from
the Turkish Interuniversity Board, as the relevant administration. In its response letter,
the Office of the Secretary General of the Interuniversity Board Presidency reported
that the issues mentioned by the applicant were discussed at the Associate Professorship
Committee meeting on 16.06.2022, and his request was accepted, and the process
would continue from where it left off. In this context, since it was understood that the
request in the complaint application was fulfilled by the relevant administration, the
application was concluded with an Amicable Settlement Decision. 7
