SGA amends constitution, encounters delays
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 News-Letter article reports on the SGA’s new bylaws, delayed freshman elections and debate over election rules.
- The News-Letter reported that the newly renamed SGA passed bylaws after its constitution required two meetings before the bylaws and committees could be formally approved.
- The paper reported that members formed an ad hoc committee to hold freshman elections in about three weeks instead of late October.
- The article quotes SGA President Prasanna Chandrasekhar saying the new constitution had “growing pains” because it did not explain how to start the organisation.
- The reporter writes that most members rejected Chandrasekhar’s proposal to let candidates campaign until voting ended, keeping the existing rules.
- The article adds that sophomore Max Dworin planned to pursue the campaign-rule reform in the spring.
