I'm currently revising my university's thesis template, and I have almost everything fixed except for particular spacing issues. Our thesis manual states that long section titles must be single spaced, but even after enclosing the entire TOC in a singlespace environment, the long title still appears as double-spaced text. Using abbreviated titles are not allowed; titles must match in the table of contents and the body.

I've tried the fix outlined here but it just double spaced the entire table of contents. I'm currently fiddling with the class file to see if there's anything in there I can do.

MWE is below:
