University announces changes in outdoor dining policy
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 changes to outdoor dining, indoor food rules and business travel.
- The News-Letter reported that food and drink are now allowed at outdoor events because of high campus vaccination rates, replacing the former grab-and-go rule.
- The article says events with fewer than 50 people do not need University approval, and outdoor picnics and cocktail receptions are now allowed subject to size limits.
- The paper reported that Hannah Bruckheim wanted clearer, earlier notice, while Lyllian Le said the change would create more opportunities for student groups to bring people together.
- The News-Letter reported that indoor dining restrictions remain, and SGA Senator Raj Bhatt said pre-packaged food and physical distancing best protect people in large groups.
- The article adds that regular business travel no longer needs prior approval, but Hopkins-sponsored travel involving student groups still does.
