SGA approves major internal overhaul
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 the SGA’s final general body meeting of the school year, proposed structural changes and two spending bills.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA administration held its last general body meeting on April 12.
- The paper reported that Nathan Mudrak’s proposed changes passed with a few abstentions and would expand the legislative body to 45 senators and add a programming board; related reorganizations could begin in 2022–23.
- The article quotes Mudrak saying the changes could engage more students, while JiWon Woo said the structure could be “overcomplicating SGA”; the reporter also writes that the amendments would require further bylaw work for implementation in 2023–24.
- The article adds that other amendments addressed Senate and Judiciary powers, the Communications and Marketing Commission and a new President’s Cabinet.
- The paper reported that a bill for 100 tote bags at the 32nd Street Farmer’s Market was amended after a cost error and passed with only Raj Bhatt voting no.
- The News-Letter reported that a separate bill set aside $527 for 13 cords and 11 stoles for graduating SGA members and passed without opposition or abstentions.
