StuCo split: Bylaws dissolved
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 News-Letter article covers the passage of a new StuCo constitution and the transition that followed.
- The News-Letter reported that the referendum passed by 67 votes, with Matt Bouloubasis announcing a 389-322 result and saying new bylaws were required.
- The article says the constitution divides StuCo into a Student Assembly and Executive Council, while Class Representatives must run for Senator positions; senior Senators are exempt.
- The paper reported that Jeffrey Groden-Thomas said the SAC would continue operating under current policies, while Ben Wardlow said the change was "not good in short run for campus" and could hamper student groups.
- The reporter writes that StuCo members planned to write bylaws during intersession, with Charles Reyner saying they wanted them in place before Feb. 28.
- According to the article, the change delayed MSE Symposium co-chair interviews, while Spring Fair continued to function with few effects so far.
