PART II
MADURAI: Institutions supported by the Christian mission always stood for liberal higher education and the objective was to separate religion and education, and to provide good education to the deserving students, and of course Christian students get an opportunity for their studies.
To substantiate this noble goal, there is an example of American College in
Madurai established in the year 1881 and was developed as an example taking a
cue from its second Principal William Jumbroe who is cited as an example
because he said more than 100 years back and much before India’s Independence
that sermons are not important for students and that our students only need
moral lessons and human values across religions.
“But, after the
Independence of our country in 1947, the Church leadership became important and
powerful because we have many institutions got minority status. But at the cost
of that democracy. there is a calamity now in a few higher education
institutions in India including our American College in Madurai. Our great
colleges went away from the hands of educationists to the Churches. Our
Christian colleges lost their freedom and one classic example is The American
College in Madurai. Yes, I say today that my great American College where I
worked as Principal and Secretary is an example of corruption and there are
DVAC etc complaints against the present Principal. There is a commercial
exploitation going on right now through its present Principal Dr.M.Davamani
Christober, the SF departments and the high fees being collected from students
by this great college. It is a moral corruption and I will tell all details,”
Dr.T.Chinnaraj Joseph Jaikumar, former Principal and Secretary of The American
College in Madurai has said while speaking to ‘Lotus Times’ media website on
November 9th 2024 and he asked the Church of South India (CSI) Madurai-Ramnad
Diocese and Bishop to step in quickly and save the students from high fees in
the name of SF courses, buildings etc and save the American College in Madurai.
