AMERICAN COLLEGE PROTEST ENTERS 59TH DAY
EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE, MADURAI. FEBRUARY 8
The agitating faculty members of The American College burned the notices issued to them by the acting principal (who was illegally appointed by the Bishop Christopher Asir) in front of the principal's office on Tuesday (08-02-2011).
The struggle between the Bishop's side and the faculty members (fighting against Bishop's illegal interference in college administration) entered the 59th day today, as the faculty members are protesting the Bishop's illegal take over of the college administration by appointing the principal & secretary (for which the Bishop does not have any powers, a fact adjudicated a year ago by the Madurai Bench of Madras High court, find the judgement copy in this blog).
Under these circumstances, the protesting faculty members received notices from (the fake) acting principal R.Mohan asking them to return to duty otherwise disciplinary action would be initiated against them.
On Tuesday (08-02-2011), the faculty members staged a demonstration against the Bishop and his men in the college campus and then marched towards the principal's office. Prior to that (Principal-in-Charge and Secretary) P.R.Anbudurai and (Head of MBA) Anbunathan addressed the faculty members. They (then) burned the photocopies (& also the originals) of the notices issued to them and shouted slogans condemning the 'acting principal'. A police team under Assistant Commissioner Shanmugam rushed to the spot. They urged the faculty members to leave the place and the agitating staff disbursed peacefully.
