SGA members call for end to JHU-ICE contract
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 an SGA meeting about the University’s relationship with ICE, funding, bylaws and goals for the 2018–19 academic year.
- The News-Letter reported that the proposed JHU-ICE Severance Resolution would ask University President Ronald J. Daniels and School of Education Dean Christopher Morphew to end the University’s relationship with ICE; the article says members debated possible effects on other federal contracts before approving it, with two senators abstaining.
- The paper reported that a bill supporting the annual USO fundraiser The Push passed with no votes against, and that the funding would return to SGA if the event were cancelled.
- The article adds that two SGA officers visited Loyola University Maryland to build ties among 17 Baltimore-area college student governments, while the bylaws re-authorized the Communications and Marketing Commission and incorporated the Policy Research and Development Commission.
- The reporter writes that President Noh Mebrahtu planned to take a more direct role in SGA discussions and focus on a University-wide smoking ban; he also said he wanted SGA to have more “impact” and be less reactive.
