SGA creates measures for regulating private police
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 2018–19 meeting and its decisions on private police, a university-wide council and transportation funding.
- The News-Letter reported that members passed a resolution asking the University to show community support and hold two public forums before creating a private police force.
- The paper reported that Olivia Morse said the resolution was nonbinding and asked the University to pause implementation until forums were held at the start of the academic year.
- The article adds that members passed a resolution supporting a council with student, faculty and staff representatives from across the University, though questions remained about its membership and selection process.
- The reporter writes that members considered transportation to the Monument Quilt and the airport; the remaining budget was $1635, and transportation officials quoted a cost of $90 per airport trip for about 10 to 12 people.
- According to the article, members ultimately approved $800 each for the Monument Quilt and Airport Shuttle bills; Pritika Parmar said the airport shuttle would be a tangible action with a large impact.
