Amendment B proposes to alter Student Council bylaws
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 covers a Student Council meeting, funding for the Underground Shakespeare Company and proposed changes in Amendment B.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting moved to the Mattin Center because of a scheduling conflict, and that members approved $429.91 for the company to build a stage for its May 4 and 5 performances.
- The paper reported that the company received funding from only the Classics and Writing Seminars departments after seeking support from nine departments.
- The article says one Council member described Amendment B as proposing small constitutional changes that could lead to major bylaw changes.
- The reporter writes that the amendment would let remaining class officers choose candidates and elect a new president if that office became vacant, rather than automatically elevating the vice president.
- The article adds that the amendment would restore the Council's authority over committee constitutions; it also reports comments from Anuj Mittal about student action, Noel de Santos about anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ+ poster defacement, and committee events.
