SGA launches Voter Guide 101 website
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 proposed voting-information website and other matters discussed at its Oct. 13 meeting.
- The News-Letter reported that senior senators Keidai Lee and Harvey McGuinness created Voter Guide 101, but the site was not yet complete; Lee said its design could make voting deadlines easier to understand.
- The paper reported that the resource became a collaboration between the SGA’s Civic Engagement Committee and Hopkins Votes, while Grace Wang promoted a new ambassador program to encourage voter registration.
- The article adds that administration agreed the SGA should have a larger role in selecting Undergraduate Academic Ethics Board nominees, though no plan or vetting process had been set.
- The reporter writes that the SGA voted to support the MaryPIRG Student Climate Action Coalition’s bill proposal, which seeks support from Maryland public colleges for climate action.
