First female principal of St Stephen's college takes charge despite Delhi University objections

St Stephen's College has appointed Susan Elias as its new principal, marking a historic milestone for the institution. Elias, who assumed office on Monday, becomes the first woman to lead the prestigious college in its 145-year history. Her appointment comes after a prolonged dispute between the college administration and Delhi University regarding the selection process for the principal's post. Meanwhile, the outgoing principal, John Varghese, has reportedly sent a farewell email to members of the college community, marking the conclusion of his tenure and the beginning of a new chapter under Elias's leadership.
