Frustrated by SGA elections? Join the CSE
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 2016–2017 SGA Executive Board debate and concerns about how SGA elections are run.
- The News-Letter reported that the Committee on Student Elections hosted a two-hour debate for candidates for president, vice president, treasurer and secretary.
- The article says current SGA Executive President Jack Bartholet moderated the debate and describes this as a conflict of interest; it also reports that he had nominated president-elect Charlie Green for vice president.
- The paper reported that students have questioned the voting dates, campaign length and social-media campaign rules, in addition to the debate’s moderation and questions.
- The article recommends that students apply to the Committee on Student Elections; it says applications open in the fall, applicants cannot currently serve on SGA, and terms last one year.
