BoE changes approved temporarily
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 council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on temporary changes to the Board of Elections constitution and other Student Council business.
- The News-Letter reported that the Student Council temporarily approved the new Board of Elections constitution for the Oct. 5 and 6 freshman elections, with plans to review it after the elections.
- The paper reported that the new constitution addressed electronic voting and polling timelines, while the Board’s bylaws contained the detailed election procedures.
- The article says that President Charles Reyner amended two articles, but concerns about the constitution led to a temporary approval lasting until one week after election announcements.
- The reporter writes that members disagreed over the Board’s independence and the level of detail needed; Junior Representative Stephen Popowski said the constitution again lacked precision.
- According to the article, Brian Drolet became junior class president, Soren Gandrud took Drolet’s former position, Aaron Levy-Forsythe became parliamentarian and three students were appointed to COLA; Drolet also mentioned possibly using junior class funds for a Club Night.
