SGA discusses campus civic engagement
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 an SGA meeting about campus initiatives, student engagement and civic discourse.
- The paper reported that the meeting covered an SGA-Administration dinner, a new KSAS curriculum and an initiative to improve civic discourse on campus.
- The article says Treasurer Mi Tu confirmed that the Student Activities Committee had finalized the SGA’s budget, while Secretary Rushabh Doshi planned to present a smoking-cessation resolution and later seek a total smoking ban.
- The News-Letter reported that 15 students were confirmed as KSAS Curriculum Committee nominees, with four eventually to be selected to advise on curriculum changes.
- The report says the SGA reviewed faculty members to invite to an Oct. 17 dinner intended to build ties with faculty.
- The article adds that senators discussed debates, speakers and other formats for a civic-engagement initiative; D’Amiano said, “Rather than having people attack each other... one person from the other side could come in and talk about their perspective, especially since politics today is so polarized,” she said.
