SAC proposes Judicial Board
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 phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on a proposed SAC Judicial Committee for disputes among student groups.
- The News-Letter reported that Noel de Santos and William Smedick presented the amendment and by-laws at the SAC General Assembly’s monthly meeting.
- The paper reported that the proposed committee would handle policy-violation complaints and include SAC officers, General Assembly members and a non-voting Student Council secretary; its powers would come from the Office of the Dean of Student Life.
- The article says disputes would reach the committee only after the groups or officials could not agree, and hearings could lead to dismissal or sanctions, including a $50 fine, denial of University resources, community service or educational seminars.
- The reporter writes that Smedick described the proposal as student-driven, while de Santos said the General Assembly should have the largest membership.
- The article adds that the General Assembly was scheduled to vote in December; if approved, nominations would follow and elections would take place in February.
