New Blue Jay mascot name unoriginal
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 “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the university’s mascot-naming vote and the paper’s response to its result.
- The News-Letter reported that administrators held a vote and that the mascot was named “Jay the Blue Jay” by popular demand.
- The paper reported that the election was advertised through a Facebook group, which many students and News-Letter editors did not see.
- The article says that an email or the next SGA ballot, with more than four choices, might have produced higher voter turnout and a different result.
