SGA launches "Transparency Project"
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 launch of a video project meant to share updates with students.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA launched its “Transparency Project” with a one-minute video about executive officers’ work.
- The paper reported that Paige Doyle said the plan was to email a video every two weeks, post it on YouTube and possibly show it on campus televisions.
- The article adds that the videos would be produced with sophomore Maxwell Dickey and other Filmmaking Club members.
- The reporter writes that Executive President Moses Song said the project grew from complaints that students did not know what the SGA did, while Doyle said students should not have to search the SGA website for that information.
- According to the article, Doyle said more transparency projects were being developed, and Song was coordinating a possible student “fireside chat or tea time”; the article also reports that SGA meetings were open to all students.
