SGA addresses resources for first-generation, low-income students
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers resources for first-generation, low-income students, SGA’s planned discussion with President Ronald J. Daniels, and several funding decisions.
- The paper reported that Associate Dean Irene Ferguson discussed support for FLI students, while Lauren Paulet said resources such as the FLI network can help students without family support.
- The article says SGA voted to discuss sexual assault and public safety with Daniels, including concerns about the Office of Institutional Equity’s resources and a possible private police force.
- The reporter writes that SGA combined student mental health, shared governance and a possible new student center into one topic for the dinner.
- According to the article, SGA introduced a Refugee Rights Resolution and unanimously approved $375 for an SGA-sponsored Wellness Wednesday.
- The paper reported that the first Wellness Wednesday took place on Nov. 7, that SGA approved $650 for a Blue Jay Blackout Tailgate and that it also funded the Planet Runway fashion show.
