PRINCIPAL REFUTES ALLEGATIONS:
The American College Principal Dr.Davamani Christober has today denied all the allegations and accusations made by the college faculty members in their complaint to the DVAC about the misappropriation of funds and disproportionate assets. “This complaint by four of our faculty members is done with a mala fide intention and vested interests. The DVAC has only forwarded it to the Directorate of Collegiate Education only for verification, that’s all. Some of them want to occupy the Principal’s position and I am honestly telling that there is no truth in these allegations and complaint. I will face it,” Dr.Davamani Christober told ‘LotusTimes’ in Madurai on 29th November 2022-Tuesday.
