Garland will not house student services this year
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 relocation of student services from Garland Hall and their expected return.
- The News-Letter reported that services were moved after Garland Hall closed during protests and would not return during the 2019–20 academic year.
- The paper reported that relocated offices included the Registrar, J-Card, academic advising, Student Disability Services and Pre-Professional Advising, with most based in the Wyman Park Building.
- The article says sophomore Timothy Carlson called the Wyman Park Building location inconvenient and said Garland should reopen soon.
- The reporter writes that sit-in participants criticized the relocation’s lack of transparency and said the administration should have sought advice from disability advocates.
- According to the article, the SGA said it did not know why services had not returned or whether the new locations were permanent, while a university website listed the changes for the rest of the academic year.
