MADURAI: Director of Collegiate Education M Eswaramoorthy has ordered Regional Joint Director (RJD) of Collegiate Education R Pon Muthuramalingam to conduct an inquiry into allegations raised against the principal of The American College.
In a letter dated November 23, Eswaramoorthy ordered the RJD to conduct a fair inquiry based on the DVAC's recommendation on a complaint lodged by several professors against The American College principal M Davamani Christober, and file a status report on this issue within 30 days. "I have received the order and will begin the inquiry soon," Muthuramalingam confirmed to TNIE.
