Julius David's letter to Retired faculty Professor Sam George dated 1.5.2008
Dear Mr. George,
Thank you very much keeping us posted of the developments!
Please convey my regards to Mr. Joseph Chinnaraj, when you get a chance and ask him to send me a note if he needs anything.
I tried to post the following comments in the IPAC blog site but for some reason I am NOT able to so if you can arrange to post it, I'd really appreciate it.
First of, I am vey happy about the court's decision and hope this is just the first of the many wins the college will have in this sad episode that is distracting everyone from being productive and enjoying life!
Just curious...
#1) If the court dismissed the case filed by the Bishop on the grounds of "production of false documents in the High Court", isn't this perjury (or contempt of court / judge) that is “automatically” punishable under Indian law? If NOT, I am assuming that the lawyers representing the interests of the college following up on this!
#2) Since the diocese of Madurai & Ramnad is under the jurisdiction of the Synod of CSI, has anyone from the Synod taken the responsibility for the Bishop’s behavior and / or intervened to mediate in the larger interest of Church of Christ?
#3) Is there a fund setup to pay for expenditure the college is incurring to defend its position? If so, please publish the details of how to donate, especially from the US through a local agency here in the US.
Last but not the least, I want to take this opportunity to thank all you who have stepped forward to show your support to this great institution!
Also, if someone could respond to these queries that will be great!
Thanks again for all your efforts to protect our College!!!
Regards,
Julius David

Mr.John Sekar known for coming to class with note cards has given an objective account of the real happenings. Thanks. He has come out with facts that could disturb the family scene of our bursar.
What next?
Take steps to suspend the bursar and the vice-principal.
IPAC should start a vigorous campaign to see the Bishop out the governing council(Truth is enough). Principal should get the support of two third of the members of the council.
We have to push hard to see him out of the college and city. If you want to realise the noble vision of the missionaries , please do have some introspection as well.
For the past fifteen years, the college is getting a look of a fundemental christian college. A group of the faculty is indifferent to the happenings. Why?
We need to get a permanent solution to have a liberal christian college alive.
Caste politics is a vivid thing in the campus.(You can not become oblivious ).What is the principal as a leader going to do about that?
How transparent the system is going to become after the crisis gets over?
As we support the social cause ( which is the original mission), we should alos consider escalating the quality of the students and faculty(Happened to see empty resumes from candidates from our college)
How will we integrate the alumini into the functioning of the college?
If we are not going to introspect, the whole crisis was a power struggle between two groups.
Thanks
Puthiyavan.
