Protests break out against SNF Agora director at SGA’s 14th meeting
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 14th meeting, including discussions with University offices, protests over an SNF Agora appointment and later bill readings.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting included a presentation about international student services from the Office of International Services.
- The paper reported that demonstrators protested SNF Agora director Hahrie Han’s attendance and the appointment of Johnnie Moore as a visiting fellow, citing his former role with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
- The article says SGA representatives told the paper that meetings are open only to undergraduate students enrolled in KSAS and WSE, and later confirmed that visiting speakers cannot receive anonymous questions.
- The reporter writes that Han said Moore had not held his former position for several months, while SGA President Vishnu Dontu said there was no attempt to suppress demonstrators.
- The News-Letter reported that two bills passed first reading, covering thank-you cards and tabling at Lighting of the Quads, after which the meeting ended.
