CSE hosts town hall for SGA exec. candidates
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 reports on a town hall for candidates in the SGA executive elections.
- The News-Letter reported that the Committee on Student Elections held the event in a town hall format, with about 30 to 40 students attending and each candidate limited to one minute per response.
- The paper reported that presidential candidates Charlie Green, Liam Haviv and John Hughes, vice-presidential candidate Anna Du, and secretary write-in candidates Andy Kim and Adelaide Morphett attended.
- The article says most questions concerned diversity and support for underrepresented groups; BSU Vice President Tiffany Onyejiaka asked how SGA could build trust, while Haviv said trust is built over time.
- The reporter writes that Associate Dean Tiffany Sanchez found the event productive, while Kim called it predictable and said candidates told people what they wanted to hear.
- According to the article, BSU member Kwame Alston said better planning could have allowed more questions, and DSAGA board member Chris expressed disappointment that candidates cited the Chick-fil-A resolution as evidence of advocacy for marginalized communities.
