St. Stephen’s College principal Valson Thampu disapproved of the move by its faculty members to speak to the media on the issue of amending the college constitution and urged them to exercise “responsible restraint” on Saturday. “At a recent Staff Council meeting, concerns were expressed by everyone present about the tendency to drag college matters through the media muck, aimed at discrediting the institution in the eye of the public.
It was decided unanimously that all faculty members shall refrain such irresponsible indulgences. I am disappointed to note that this has been violated. I urge my colleagues to exercise responsible restraint in such situations and explore avenues of dialogue,” he said.
