Board of Trustees selects new members
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 phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers seven new members selected for the university’s Board of Trustees.
- The News-Letter reported that seven members were inducted effective July 2002 and would serve six-year terms, except Young Trustee Stephen Goutman, whose term would last four years; each would have one vote.
- The paper reported that the nominating committee reviewed candidates and focused on influence, University ties and key skills; two selected trustees each year must be alumni nominated by the Alumni Council.
- The article adds that up to eight seniors applied for the Young Trustee position before the committee selected former student-government participant Stephen Goutman, who would pursue a doctorate at the University of Chicago Medical School.
- The reporter writes that the new members included Roderich Carr, Charles Clarvit, Loren Douglass, Lisa Egbuonu-Davis, David Koch and Rajendra Singh, as well as Goutman.
- According to the article, Koch had donated nearly $100 million to charitable causes including cancer research, medical centers and education.
- The paper reported that Jerome Schnydman said the committee was satisfied with its selections and was working toward a diverse board.
