In a surprising turn of events, the principal of Aitchison College, Michael A Thomson, has reportedly reconsidered his decision to resign. This development came about after a persuasive discussion with the Board of Governors on Thursday.
The meeting, which saw Thomson in personal attendance, was marked by earnest attempts from government representatives to persuade him to retract his resignation. Their efforts appear to have been successful, instilling a sense of optimism among the board members.
The meeting also brought to light the board’s stance on the contentious issue of fee waivers. A significant majority voiced their opposition to the policy. However, a few members suggested that the authority to grant waivers should rest with the governor, who also presides over the board. This development adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate on educational policies within the institution.
