Give the floor to both viewpoints
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 Judiciary Committee’s decision on Voice for Life and the editorial board’s response.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA Judiciary Committee granted official group status to Voice for Life (VFL), overturning the Senate’s March denial of its application.
- The paper reported that official status gives VFL SAC privileges, including use of the Hopkins name and logo, access to official vans and the ability to apply for University funding.
- The article says the editorial board argued that VFL’s right to free speech did not require University funding.
- The reporter writes that the board supported equal representation of opposing viewpoints and urged students who disagree with VFL to organize.
