Mangalore, June 13, 2012 : St. Aloysius College (autonomous), which started the mass communication and media studies (MCMS) course without getting the approval of the Mangalore University, has stated in its response to students who sent notices to it that it is doing everything in its power to resolve the issue.

Harsha Raj Gatty, S. Reena, and Sandhya C. D’ Souza, who had completed their MCMS successfully, had issued notices to the college demanding their degree certificates. They also stated that they will take legal steps and request the court to direct the college to pay a compensation of Rs. 20 lakh to each of them if it fails to issue their degree certificates.

Regarding the students’ decision to take legal action, the college authorities stated that the issue is on the verge of getting resolved and any legal action taken will further complicate matters and prolong the issue.

A. M. Narahari, college registrar, said that the college has succeeded in convincing the university to grant MCMS degrees from 2008 and that the vice-chancellor has promised to send a proposal about this to the chancellor and the government after discussing the issue at the Syndicate meeting and getting the required approval.

The students, however, have made clear their intentions of taking legal action until and unless the college gives them a written statement that it will give them their MCMS degree certificates as mentioned in its prospectus.
