SGA discusses bringing electric scooters to campus
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 News-Letter article covers a Nov. 17 SGA meeting about possible electric scooters and a proposed forum on Greek life.
- The News-Letter reported that Spin representatives presented a possible University partnership, which could bring 10 to 15 charging and parking hubs to campus and let students use scooters for a fee or through University subsidies.
- The paper reported that students raised concerns about the small, hilly campus, accessibility and pandemic safety; Spin representative Dave Reed said the scooters would complement existing services and that staff sanitize them while servicing them.
- The article adds that Reed said the partnership would require no-cost investment and could generate revenue through advertising, while students also discussed possible use at other campuses and the need for affordable access.
- The reporter writes that a proposal for a special forum about accusations involving the Delta Phi fraternity was tabled after 113 petition signatures were found to have been collected improperly and could not be verified.
- According to the article, Executive President Sam Mollin said the SGA was working to verify the signatures and might hold a brief general body meeting over Thanksgiving break if verification finished in time.
